OVERVIEW

Digital Slide Pathology Review: A Case Based Approach To Common Problems In Surgical Pathology is organized by Educational Symposia (ESI) and will be held from Jan 27 - 29, 2022 at The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, Miami, Miami, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
This slide seminar has been designed to be different from other offerings, in that traditional lectures have been replaced by interactive digital slide seminars. Each seminar is designed to provide a review of key topics in different areas of surgical pathology, including breast, gynecologic, orthopedic, head and neck, and soft tissue pathology. The course provides an update and an overview of some of the most important diagnostic features which allow the practicing pathologist to make accurate diagnoses, as well as clues as to how to avoid the common diagnostic pitfalls. Also included is a discussion of appropriate ancillary diagnostic techniques which help to serve in rendering a final diagnosis. There will be extensive time for discussion with faculty members, not only during the slide seminars, but between seminars.
