Abstract: Pathology techniques are the cornerstone of pathologists' disease diagnosis. Pre-service standardized training helps pathology technicians master the theoretical knowledge of pathology techniques, improve their practical skills, and lay the foundation for their future laboratory work. This paper describes the design and implementation of pre-service training for pathology technicians in Department of Pathology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Eighteen trainees who participated in the training from June 2020 to February 2022 were used as the study subjects, and the training effects were evaluated through theoretical and practical operation assessments, questionnaire surveys and colloquia. The results showed that the trainees' theoretical and practical operation assessment scores were(94.09±7.96) and (91.68±4.71), and 17 of the trainees were satisfied with the standardized training. The pre-service standardized training has been recognized by all trainees as an effective pathway to develop the ability of pathology technicians.
