Key Topics in Pathology CME
Pathology Board Review, an online CME course, presents a comprehensive array of pathology topics, from head to toe in anatomic pathology, to the nuts and bolts of running a multidisciplinary clinical pathology laboratory with support for highly specialized testing. It’s continuing medical education that will guide you in applying relevant concepts to the pathology boards examination, and help you to better:
- Define high-yield concepts within anatomic pathology, including neoplasm recognition and subclassification
- Discuss mesenchymal and hematopoietic neoplasms
- Explain basic concepts in placental pathology
- Describe laboratory management concepts and their use with transfusion medicine, blood banking, chemistry, immunology, microbiology, cytogenetics, and more
Learning Objectives
After viewing this program, the participant will be better able to:
- List high yield concepts within anatomic pathology, including recognition and subclassification of neoplasms of the breast, skin, gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary tract, soft tissue, bone, head and neck, heart, lung, kidney, male and female reproductive tracts, and brain
- Discuss mesenchymal and hematopoietic neoplasms, including those involving children
- Explain basic concepts in placental pathology, with a focus on high yield material for the boards examination
- Describe concepts of laboratory management and explain their utilization in health care, specifically with transfusion medicine/blood baking, chemistry, hematology (including hemoglobinopathies), coagulation, immunology, microbiology (including bacteriology, virology, parasitology), and molecular techniques ranging from cytogenetics to next generation sequencing
Target Audience
This course is designed for pathology residents/fellows preparing for their specialty examinations, as well as practicing pathologists who wish to fulfill MOC (CME and SAM) requirements, prepare for recertification, or update their knowledge in general.
