A Practical Approach to Problematic Breast Lesions - 2019 Webinar

A Practical Approach to Problematic Breast Lesions - 2019 is organized by United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) and will be held from Feb 22, 2019 - Jan 08, 2022.

Target Audience:
Practicing academic and community pathologists, and pathologists-in-training

Continuing Medical Education and Continuing Certification:
The United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology designates this enduring material for a maximum of 11.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. 

The USCAP is approved by the American Board of Pathology (ABPath) to offer Self-Assessment credits (SAMs) for the purpose of meeting the ABPath requirements for Continuing Certification (CC). Registrants must take and pass the post-test in order to claim SAMs credit. Physicians can earn a maximum of 11.25 SAM credit hours.

Course Description:
This interactive microscopy course, taught by experts from Harvard Medical School, Stanford and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, is designed to eliminate a variety of practice gaps in diagnostic breast pathology. 

In general, there is a misdiagnosis rate of about 10% in breast biopsies, which may be even higher for some notoriously problematic lesions. This course (through intimate mentoring) attempts to reduce or eliminate diagnostic error by highlighting pitfalls and illustrating practical approaches to resolve them, using routine microscopic examination of H&E-stained sections with appropriate ancillary testing. The intended outcome is improved clinical practice and patient outcomes. 

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:
• Evaluate diagnostic criteria and clinical significance of various common and uncommon benign, in situ and malignant lesions of the breast
• Describe differential diagnostic problems commonly encountered in breast pathology and develop strategies to resolve them in the practice environment
• Utilize the latest information on the uses and limitations of immunohistochemistry in resolving diagnostic problems in breast pathology

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
