Educational Symposia – 48th Annual Seminar Pathology Review – February 28 – March 5, 2027
This seminar has been designed to provide a comprehensive overview of some of the most common areas of diagnostic difficulty encountered by practicing pathologists in the areas of breast, genitourinary, and hepatobiliary pathology. The course will provide details of some of the most important diagnostic features which allow pathologists to make accurate diagnoses in each of these subspecialty areas, as well as how to assess essential diagnostic clues and avoid the most common diagnostic pitfalls. Each lecture will also provide a discussion on the use of ancillary diagnostic techniques, including immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology. Some of the lectures will also include case-based discussions. There will be sufficient time for interactive discussions between all of the faculty members and all participants.
