Why this presentation?
• Building a convincing business case for digital pathology in education has proven difficult. Implementation requires a significant investment (money, time, personnel), and we hear from many practitioners in both the US and in Europe that administrations are difficult to convince.
• This presentation wants to help you come up with arguments when you find yourself in a conversation about the pros and cons of digital pathology in your teaching project
