Pathology CME

Lung Pathology CME from the Experts

Through engaging lectures, case studies, and virtual microscopy sessions, Masters of Pathology Series – Lung Pathology continuing medical education helps build and translate knowledge into realistic diagnostic scenarios. Course Director Lynette M. Sholl, MD, and her colleagues deliver in-depth coverage of topics like granulomatous diseases, vasculitis, multiple lung tumors, lung transplant pathology, pulmonary vascular pathology, benign mimics of lung cancer, and more. This online CME course will help you to better:

• Recognize common, uncommon mediastinal tumors including thymic neoplasms
• Interpret the clinical implications of specific carcinoma diagnoses
• Identify effective diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for NSCLC diagnosis
• Differentiate between reactive and neoplastic proliferations of the lung and pleura
• Understand the relevance of IHC, FISH, molecular tests for diagnosing malignant mesothelioma
• Define appropriate biomarkers to select lung cancer patients for immunotherapy

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, the participant will be able to do the following:

• Identify the pathologic and immunohistochemical features of common lung carcinomas and understand the clinical implications of specific carcinoma diagnoses
• Identify the crucial diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for non-small cell lung carcinomas and understand how to apply them in clinical practice
• Define appropriate biomarkers for selection of lung cancer patients for immunotherapy
• Distinguish between reactive and neoplastic proliferations of the lung and pleura
• Classify correctly primary and metastatic mimics of non-small cell lung carcinomas
• Recognize common and uncommon mediastinal tumors including thymic neoplasms
• Recognize clinically significant interstitial changes in the lung in patients with and without prospectively recognized clinical and radiographic correlates

Intended Audience

This educational activity was designed for practicing pathologists, oncologists, pulmonologists, and pathology assistants.

The Osler Live Pathology Board Review is a 7-day course designed to update your clinical knowledge base as well as to help you pass your Pathology AP and/or CP exams (certifying or MOC).

The first four days are anatomic pathology which overlaps, by one day, the last four days of clinical pathology. This course has an optional day of glass-slides before and after the seven-day seminar.

Topics covered by the Osler Live Pathology Board Review include:
Cardiovascular Pathology, Pulmonary Pathology, Gastrointestinal Pathology, Endocrine Pathology, Liver and Gallbladder, Breast Pathology, Renal Disease, Female Reproductive, Male Reproductive, Bone Tumors, Soft Tissue Pathology, Dermatopathology, Neuropathology and many others.

Target Audience: Pathologists

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!
