Abstract/Short Description
Pathology Student Interest Groups (PSIG) are a recruitment tool supported by VCU Department of Pathology to attract medical students into pathology residency. VCU PSIG wanted to increase student attendance and engagement by choosing an off-site venue and employing gamification to increase student interaction with pathology residents and faculty.
