What Every Pathologist Needs to Know

Overview

Convenient and Comprehensive Pathology CME

This online CME course stresses tips and pearls relevant to modern diagnostic pathology. What Every Pathologist Needs to Know covers major areas of diagnostic surgical pathology: breast, genitourinary, gastrointestinal, skin, gynecologic, hematopoietic, frozen sections, head and neck, pulmonary, cytopathology, neuropathology, and bone and soft tissue.  Speakers draw from their own slide collections, reviewing cases at the microscope and presenting lectures that address real time issues of daily practice. It’s continuing medical education that will help you to better:

• Define key benign breast lesions likely to be overdiagnosed as carcinomas
• Explain clues for separating reactive and dysplastic gastrointestinal tract lesions
• Assess frozen sections, including pancreatic, parathyroid, and CNS
• Explain an approach to HPV testing in head and neck tumors
• Discuss issues in urothelial cytology
• And more…
