PIER Announcements
Monitor this section for PIER updates. As new information becomes available it will be posted here.
** ANNOUNCING PIER RELEASE 4 **
The PIER curriculum has been updated and streamlined to make implementation easier for pathology residency programs. Major improvements include: a shorter guide to help programs get started, updated topics and all new knowledge and skill statements to better match knowledge and skill expectations for residents upon completion of training, a new tool replacing three previous tools to more easily track resident progress and record completion, transitioned the Resource Toolkit (85 pages) into 4 separate, smaller documents; one for each of the Essentials, restructured the Resource Toolkits to improve ease of use, and reduced the number of Recommended Resources for each topic to make it easier to select teaching tools.
