Beschreibung:
<jats:p>The Anat. 653 Review of Histology was a traditional basic science course offered at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, which provided a microscopic review of specimens of the tissue and organ systems to the M4 students who intend to pursue specialty training in pathology and other fields. A newly modified course not only provides a microscopic review of histology, but also involves integrated clinical cases, pathological images and discussion sessions of both basic science and clinical information. Three‐dimensional integrations include (1) integration of reading materials of both histology and pathology; (2) integration of microscopic review of histological and pathological images; (3) integration of basic science and clinical faculty in small group discussion sessions, comparing the normal cells, structures and tissues with the altered abnormal tissues and associated diseases. The students have an opportunity to consult and discuss with faculty members from both the Anatomy Department and the Pathology Department. They also have the opportunity to give a presentation of selected clinical cases during the discussion sessions. The integrated Histology and Pathology review course will be much better at preparing senior year medical students, especially those who intend to pursue specialty training in Pathology in their upcoming residency than the traditional review course.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold><jats:italic>Grant Funding Source</jats:italic></jats:bold><jats:italic>: University of Mississippi Medical Center</jats:italic></jats:p>
