Gastrointestinal Pathology CME: A Practical Overview

From Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. A practical, case-based overview for those who encounter GI and liver specimens in their daily practice, this online CME program addresses interpretation of upper GI tract mucosa and liver biopsies, along with recent advances in pancreatic and biliary pathology.

Current Topics in Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology — led by renowned pathologist Lysandra Voltaggio, MD — includes case-based continuing medical education lectures designed to help you better interpret mucosal and liver biopsies, enhance your understanding of pancreatic and biliary disorders, and apply modern techniques to gastrointestinal disorders.

Expert Gynecologic Pathology CME

Gynecologic Pathology focuses on lesions occurring in the female genital system, including classification guidelines, revised terminology and diagnostic pearls. Continuing medical education lectures and microscopy sessions are organized by anatomic location and type of diagnosis: inflammatory, neoplastic, low grade, high grade. Part of our Masters of Pathology Series, this online CME course will help you in:

• Classifying tumors using histologic criteria for prognosis
• Applying the correct algorithm to diagnoses
• Using recently discovered immunohistochemistry antibodies and molecular data

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this CME activity, the participant will be able to:

• Recognize the main inflammatory conditions of the vulva
• Be familiar with the concepts in squamous intraepithelial neoplasia
• Diagnose and apply histologic criteria for prognosis of endocervical carcinoma
• Recognize the histologic types of endometrial carcinoma
• Apply universal testing to detect Lynch syndrome patients
• Recognize the main mesenchymal tumors of the uterus and the most useful ancillary tests for diagnosis
• Diagnose precursor lesions of serous carcinogenesis in the fallopian tube
• Distinguish between clear cell, endometrioid and serous carcinomas of the ovary
• Be familiar with germ cell and sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary
• Navigate through the main diagnostic challenges in placental pathology

Intended Audience

This educational activity is intended for training and practicing pathologists and gynecologists.

Excel with Expert Hematopathology CME

In addition to detailed coverage of hematopoietic lesions, the Masters of Pathology Series — Hematopathology online CME program delivers case-based presentations focused on interpretation of ancillary test results. Lectures in this continuing medical education course include:

• A Quick Guide to Common Low-Grade B-cell Lymphomas. Diagnosis of the most common low-grade B-cell lymphomas is fairly straightforward and can be done using an algorithmic approach incorporating first morphologic findings followed by immunohistochemical findings.
• I Found Hodgkin Cells! A brief overview of Hodgkin lymphoma and the various subtypes including morphologic and phenotypic findings.
• MDS/MPN Overlap Syndromes – A Quick Review for the General Pathologist. While these syndromes are relatively uncommon in relation to other myeloid neoplasms, their recognition is important. Classification is facilitated by following the relatively specific diagnostic criteria outlined in the WHO classification.
• Non-GI Extranodal T-cell Lymphomas. A heterogeneous group of disorders with variable morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics, in which the integration with the clinical presentation is important to achieve an accurate diagnosis.
• And more!
