United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) Thoracic Pathology 2018
In-Person Event
Oct 24 - 25, 2018
Palm Springs, California, USASpeakers
OVERVIEW
United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) Thoracic Pathology is organized by United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) and will be held during Oct 24 - 25, 2018 at USCAP Interactive Center, Palm Springs, California, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for 17 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description :
Thoracic specimens are commonly encountered in clinical practice derived from biopsy and surgical procedures on pulmonary, cardiovascular and mediastinal tissue. The panorama includes neoplasms and non-neoplastic entities. The fact that many of these require evaluation for medical diseases of the thorax provokes anxiety among pathologists, particularly where subspecialty pathologists are not readily available. The last five years contributed a dizzying array of updates in classification, nomenclature and reporting guidelines. Therefore, it’s time for pathologists to update their knowledge and skills in the diagnosis of thoracic pathology in an intimate mentoring environment that unites experienced experts with pathologists desiring a contemporary review of modern thoracic pathology.
Course Objectives are :
• Understand the fundamental approaches to handling thoracic specimens.
• Apply and recognize new classification/grading schemes regarding thoracic disease.
• Recognize the importance of multidisciplinary (i.e., radiologic) collaboration in thoracic disease.
• Identify clinically relevant diagnostic concepts to aid in patient management.
• Utilize appropriate and minimum ancillary studies to diagnose and/or exclude lymphoproliferative processes.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
