Update in Pulmonary Pathology: Contemporary Classification and Diagnosis 2017

Update in Pulmonary Pathology: Contemporary Classification and Diagnosis is organized by American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and would be held during May 4 - 6, 2017 at Omni San Diego Hotel, San Diego, California, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event are Pathologists, Pathology Residents, and Pathologists’ Assistants. This CME conference has been approved with 19.5 CME Credits.

Following this course, you will be able to:
• Apply modern classifications and diagnostic formulations in lung pathology.
• Discuss and apply the new lung adenocarcinoma classification and describe which immunostains are useful in the histologic subtyping of lung carcinomas.
• Apply improved skills in differentiating relatively uncommon or difficult-to-diagnose conditions.
• Separate the various forms of interstitial lung disease and understand the clinical/radiologic corrections for these entities
• Identify new entities in lung disease.
• Apply enhanced diagnostic accuracy to improve quality assurance.
• Apply molecular diagnostic techniques to thoracic tumors and determine when/what to order.
• Identify and gain the information you need from clinicians and radiologist to ensure the accuracy of your diagnoses.
• Effectively communicate to clinicians and radiologists the information they need to treat patients.

This course will provide you with practical approaches to diagnosis with a clear focus on the clinical information that’s so critical for quality patient management. A brief review of normal lung anatomy and common conditions will form the basis for discussions of more difficult and unusual diagnoses.
