Educators in various fields, in particular, medical schools are relying on technology, advanced software and resources than ever before. Online modules, are occupying important places in the learning process as they complement live lectures in students’ learning. They can also be very beneficial when it comes to the USMLE 1 preparation if utilized well, as they encompass many advantages such as virtual accessibility and pace control. Hereby we propose to create online comprehensive integrated organ system modules targeting medical students that correlate to each organ system block in their curriculum for studies and reviews. The module will include multiple interactive activities to enhance teamwork, promote self‐learning and increase the learning curve. Histology‐histopathology will constitute the backbone of each module where images of both normal and abnormal tissues, in various disease states, will be compared and discussed, thus, shedding light on disease process and related pathophysiology. The outcome will be accessed through various parameters covering knowledge, skills, attitudes, and professionalism, in addition to a timely feedback. These integrated modules based on structural biology, normal and pathological, will offer a better geography for understanding and achieve a high level of critical thinking and in depth understanding of the school curriculum.
