Abstract:
Senior house officer schools in histopathology have been established in Leeds, Leicester and Southampton, each training six new recruits each year. Nine hours of protected teaching time is provided each week giving a ratio of apprenticeship learning to formal teaching of 3:1. Evaluations have been very positive. Much of this success is attributed to careful planning and adequate funding. This may be a useful model for other specialties to follow.
