Three online training modules to introduce Histology were created by a second‐year medical student to provide a strong foundation for effective and efficient learning in the Histology laboratory. Members of all four medical school classes were surveyed for feedback on the most challenging and confusing concepts in Histology. Based on the results of over one hundred and forty student replies across all years, three online video modules were created: Approaching Histology; Introduction to Slide Preparation and Common Stains; and Introduction to Imagescope (digital slide viewing system). Content ranged from an overview of common stains and slide artifacts to understanding how to extrapolate 3‐ dimensional structures from 2‐dimensional slides. These modules are unique as they were created from the perspective of a fellow student and targeted the most common needs identified by the student‐body survey. This student‐initiated summer project was funded by the University of British Columbia Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences. Grant Funding Source : AAA
