The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) is launching a new learning tool that will allow any pathologist or clinician computer access to a wide range of content. The system provides information on cases from the AFIP Central Repository complete with radiographic imagery, articles published by the staff, and access to AFIP Tumor Pathology published by the American Registry of Pathology.
The "AskAFIP" version 2.0 was developed by Dr. Jeffrey R. Galvin in the Department of Radiologic Pathology. Dr. Galvin is the co-founder of the Virtual Hospital at the University of Iowa.
Version 3.0 is expected to launch in 2007 and will include a handheld version and streaming video. The system is free for military physicians and available to civilian users for a nominal fee.
