There are several good repositories of pathology images, question banks and
cases on the Internet. Several of these offer free access to their resources
or access via membership in a consortium, etc. As an institutional member of
GRIPE (the Group for Research in Pathology Education) we have access to GRIPE's
on-line resources (a user name and password is necessary for entry). NOTE: Please acknowledge the author of any material used in classroom presentations
or for teaching purposes. In all cases PLEASE RESPECT COPYRIGHT and either gain
permission for use or access another source. If you are unsure of the copyright
rules assume it IS protected and ask for permission for "fair use".

A good resource for copyright issues (Fair Use of Copyrighted Material) is available
at - http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/IntellectualProperty/copypol2.htm
as well as the Copyright Crash Course at - http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/IntellectualProperty/cprtindx.htm.
Both of these resources are produced by the University of Texas for the use
of their faculty, but the standards for "fair use" are roughly comparable
in Canada.
