This 2-day course during the foliage season in New<br />
Engl<strong>and</strong> brings diagnostic <strong>ana<strong>to</strong>mic</strong>/surgical <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>clinical</strong> <strong>pathology</strong> <strong>to</strong>gether through an extensive<br />
number of concise case presentations, focusing on the<br />
essential “pearls” of each <strong>to</strong>pic. The cases/<strong>to</strong>pics<br />
demonstrate concepts that pathologists are likely <strong>to</strong><br />
encounter in their daily practice. Both an <strong>ana<strong>to</strong>mic</strong><br />
pathologist <strong>and</strong> a <strong>clinical</strong> pathologist will present the<br />
key concepts for each case. The speakers are all<br />
specialists in the <strong>to</strong>pics being presented.<br />
The principal objectives of the course are <strong>to</strong>:<br />
• Engage participants in a series of concise, educational<br />
case-based presentations on <strong>to</strong>pics that are<br />
likely <strong>to</strong> be encountered in <strong>pathology</strong> practice,<br />
focusing on the key concepts<br />
• Highlight new <strong>and</strong> emerging st<strong>and</strong>ards of care in<br />
<strong>clinical</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>ana<strong>to</strong>mic</strong> <strong>pathology</strong><br />
• Optimize diagnostic skills by integrating <strong>ana<strong>to</strong>mic</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>clinical</strong> <strong>pathology</strong><br />
• Learn <strong>to</strong> apply <strong>clinical</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>ana<strong>to</strong>mic</strong> <strong>pathology</strong> <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>reach</strong> a <strong>diagnosis</strong><br />
