applying anatomic and clinical pathology to reach a diagnosis - CME

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
This 2-day course during the foliage season in New
England brings diagnostic anatomic/surgical and
clinical pathology together through an extensive
number of concise case presentations, focusing on the
essential “pearls” of each topic. The cases/topics
demonstrate concepts that pathologists are likely to
encounter in their daily practice. Both an anatomic
pathologist and a clinical pathologist will present the
key concepts for each case. The speakers are all
specialists in the topics being presented.
The principal objectives of the course are to:
• Engage participants in a series of concise, educational
case-based presentations on topics that are
likely to be encountered in pathology practice,
focusing on the key concepts
• Highlight new and emerging standards of care in
clinical and anatomic pathology
• Optimize diagnostic skills by integrating anatomic
and clinical pathology
• Learn to apply clinical and anatomic pathology to
reach a diagnosis
