This course covers 25 core histology concepts that "all medical students should know upon graduation from medical school."

The course material was initially developed for use in a series of randomized trials conducted with over 1700 students at 7 medical schools:
   Baylor College of Medicine
   Harvard Medical School
   Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami
   Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences
   University of Alabama (Birmingham) School of Medicine
   University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
   University of Virginia School of Medicine

The content was developed by Dr. Shaffer, content-validated by a second histology educator, pilot-tested on 30 Harvard students, and fine-tuned to optimize its psychometric properties (reliability, difficulty, etc.).

All course-author revenue from this course will be donated to Partners in Health (www.pih.org).

Note: In the histology course, one of the questions shows a pulmonary artery next to an airway and asked for the identification of the pulmonary artery. The explanation of the question indicates that the airway is a bronchus. this is incorrect. The airway shown in this snapshot from a Virtual Slide on the Harvard web site is a bronchiale, as indicated by: 1. Lack of any cartilage and 2. Presence of a simple epithelium instead of respiratory epithelium (ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium).
