E‐learning, also known as computer‐assisted learning, successfully bridges anatomical knowledge and transferrable skills, such as critical analysis, teamwork, and communication. Several institutions have integrated histology and physiology in team based laboratory approaches, but integration of histology and pathology instruction has been done to a lesser extent. Our aim was to develop an e‐learning atlas that integrates microanatomy and pathology laboratories for an interdisciplinary medical curriculum.A multidisciplinary team developed an online atlas (microanatomyatlas.com) that includes a library of histology and histopathology images. Traditional laboratory manual instructions and study objectives were linked to specific labeled images and made interactive to allow for self‐testing. Clinical case studies involving a disease entity were incorporated, which allows students to toggle between normal as well as the pathological slides as they apply their clinical reasoning skills. Data is being collected on the number and frequency of students using the atlas. Also, a detailed survey to assess student satisfaction and learning will be administered.Our preliminary data so far shows that student feedback has been positive and an e‐learning atlas integrating microanatomy and pathology laboratory may be an essential tool that guides the studies and enhances the performance of medical students.AcknowledgementsAmerican Educational Institute, University and Campus Management (AEIUCM).

Interventional radiology is a technology driven medical specialty, and IR physicians are in a unique position to develop new medical ideas and technology. With the knowledge of the biomedical design process, available resources and funding options, interventional radiologists will have the tools to evaluate and develop biodesign ideas and transition them to clinical implementation.
