9th Annual Surgical Pathology Update: Diagnostic Pearls for the Practicing Pathologist
Westin Kierland Resort and Spa • Scottsdale, Arizona
October 24 – 26, 2024
This seminar has been designed to provide an overview of some of the most common areas encountered by practicing surgical pathologists, including gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary/pancreatic, breast, genitourinary, and gynecologic pathology. This course will provide an extensive overview of some of the most important diagnostic features which allow pathologists to make accurate diagnoses in each of these subspecialized areas, as well as how to assess essential diagnostic clues and avoid misdiagnoses. In each lecture, there will also be a thorough discussion on the use of ancillary diagnostic techniques, including immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics. There will also be sufficient time for interactive discussions between all of the faculty members and participants.
