Jessica Terry, 18 years old, discovered a telltale granuloma in one of her own pathology slides, leading to a successful diagnosis for a disease that had been a mystery to her doctors for years. Clearly a young histologist/pathologist in the making.
Glossed over in the article is the participation of the local, unnamed pathlogist who was working with her class to train them. I've never seen histology taught at a high school level before, but it definitely seems to have made a difference for at least one student. What are the thoughts of our histo readers? Would you be in favor of high school students getting a more advanced exposure to histology and medical education in general?
