Modern Surgical Pathology Through the Expert Eyes of APSS-USCAP is organized by United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) and will be held from Oct 26 - 29, 2018 at USCAP Interactive Center, Palm Springs, California, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 32.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Course Description: This inaugural co-branded interactive microscopy course presents the synergistic union of expert surgical pathologists from the prestigious Arthur Purdy Stout Society and from USCAP, collaborating (through education of pathologists) to eliminate a variety of practice gaps in diagnostic surgical pathology. For example, there is a misdiagnosis rate of about 10% in breast biopsies, but for some notoriously problematic lesions, the rate is even higher. A review of the literature and the collective clinical experience of this faculty as consultant surgical pathologists have clearly documented areas in diagnostic surgical pathology that remain problematic even for experienced pathologists. Examples include the categorization of proliferative breast lesions, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, small glandular proliferations in the prostate, and soft tissue lesions. With the frequent use of core needle biopsy, pathologists are often faced with the challenge of distinguishing these entities on small specimen samples. The value of this course is its intent to eliminate diagnostic errors by highlighting pitfalls and approaches to resolve them using a routine microscopic examination of H&E-stained sections and immuno-stains. The role of newer adjunctive molecular tests will also be discussed where appropriate. Thus, this course addresses medical knowledge and competence with the goal of improving clinical practice. Course Objectives: • Evaluate diagnostic criteria and clinical significance of various common and uncommon benign, in situ and malignant lesions of the breast, GI and GYN tract, prostate, lung, head and neck and soft tissues in core needle biopsy specimens and surgical specimens • Describe differential diagnostic problems commonly encountered in these sites and develop strategies to resolve them in the practice environment • Eliminate diagnostic error by highlighting pitfalls and approaches to resolving them in surgical pathology using both routine microscopic examination of H&-stained sections and immuno-stains • Discuss the uses and limitations of immunohistochemistry in diagnostic surgical pathology • Discuss the role of newer adjunctive molecular tests where appropriate • Address both medical knowledge and competence with the goal of improving clinical practice Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) Mastery Courses is organized by American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) and will be held from Nov 09, 2018 - Apr 14, 2019 at The Hyatt Lodge at McDonald's Campus, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 65 CE Hours. The AADSM Mastery Program is a comprehensive, clinically-focused and evidence-based education program that will provide dentists with the necessary training and skills they need to provide oral appliance therapy to patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. Upon completion of the program, dentists will have the competence and confidence to provide oral appliance therapy and build relationships with patients, physicians, and payers. This course is limited to licensed dentists. The program consists of three in-person courses, each lasting two and one-half days. All courses will be comprised of lectures followed by discussion and will include self-instructional activities prior to each course. Mastery I will also include faculty demonstrations. The courses may be purchased individually or together as a bundle. Dentists who currently hold the Qualified Dentist designation and are interested in pursuing ABDSM certification must register for Mastery I, II, and III. Successful completion of the Mastery Program and eligibility for the ABDSM Certification Examination includes two Guided Patient Cases. Dentists interested in obtaining Diplomate status via the Mastery Program should begin to screen for patients who are candidates for Oral Appliance Therapy that could fulfill this requirement. Course Descriptions : Mastery Course I (Nov 09 - 11, 2018) : Mastery I is the first course of a three-part program designed for dentists with an interest in, but little or no background, in treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with oral appliance therapy (OAT). This initial course examines fundamental concepts and practical techniques necessary to incorporate OAT into a general or specialty dental practice. Students will be taught the AADSM practice protocols and clinical guidelines necessary to perform the proper patient screening, examination and record acquisition to begin treatment with competence and confidence. Mastery Course II (Feb 08 - 10, 2019) : Mastery II builds on the knowledge and clinical proficiency gained in Mastery I with continued emphasis on skill development. Students will participate in oral appliance selection and create a prescription for a laboratory to fabricate an oral appliance. Clinical competence and confidence with delivery and titration will be addressed with further development in Mastery III. Lectures will develop a more in-depth understanding of normal sleep and the consequences of poor quality sleep, including phase delay circadian rhythms in adolescents. Exploring alternative treatments such as surgery and CPAP will lay a foundation for guiding patient decision-making and anticipating combining therapies for best outcomes. Mastery Course III (Apr 12 - 14, 2019) : As the final didactic step in the Mastery Program, Mastery III provides the participant with the proficiency to manage a broad spectrum of cases and severities of obstructive sleep apnea. A focus on titration goals, understanding maximum medical improvement, and side effect management furnishes practitioner confidence and promotes best patient care. Registration Fees: Mastery I, II and III - Non-Member - Early Fee - $7000 Mastery I, II and III - Non-Member - Regular Fee - $8000 Mastery I, II and III - AADSM Member - Early Fee - $6000 Mastery I, II and III - AADSM Member - Regular Fee - $7000 Mastery I, II and III - AADSM Active-duty Military Member - Early Fee - $1500 Mastery I, II and III - AADSM Active-duty Military Member - Regular Fee - $1750 Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
