病理学是医学院课程的核心组成部分，因为了解疾病的发病机理对于诊断效率和患者护理中辅助资源的最佳利用都是基础。医学教育病理学能力（PCME）被开发为医学生期望病理学知识的国家资源。PCME由三种能力组成：疾病机制和过程，器官系统病理学，以及诊断病理学和治疗病理学。2017年首次发布的PCME的学习目标和学习目标已经过仔细修订和更新。进行了大量补充以填补原始PCME目标的空白，一些学习目标已经退休或转移到能力范围内更合适的位置。随着课程和医学实践的变化，PCME将继续定期修订和更新。它们已经并将继续作为学术病理学出版的越来越多的教育案例的组织原则。原始和修订后的PCME中的术语将允许继续将以前和新的教育案例与修订后的学习目标联系起来。PCME和教育案例可以适应任何类型的课程。拥有广泛接受的病理学学习目标资源将帮助学生和医学教育工作者专注于病理学的基本组成部分，以便将来进行医学实践。
Pathology is a core component of medical school curricula because understanding the pathogenesis of the disease is foundational both for diagnostic efficiency and optimal use of ancillary resources in patient care. The Pathology Competencies for Medical Education (PCME) were developed as a national resource of expectations of pathology knowledge for medical students. The PCME are composed of three competencies: disease mechanisms and processes, organ system pathology, and diagnostic pathology and therapeutic pathology. The learning goals and learning objectives of the PCME that were first published in 2017 have been carefully revised and updated. Significant additions were made to fill gaps of the original PCME objectives, and some learning objectives have been retired or moved to more appropriate locations within the competencies. As curricula and the practice of medicine change, the PCME will continue to be revised and updated periodically. They have and will continue to serve as the organizing principle for the growing number of educational cases published by Academic Pathology. Nomenclature in the original and revised PCME will allow for continued linking of previous and new educational cases to the revised learning objectives. PCME and the educational cases can be adapted into any type of curricula. Having a widely accepted resource of learning objectives in pathology will help students and medical educators focus on essential components of pathology for the future practice of medicine.
