2019 Surgical Pathology Update Diagnostic Pearls for the Practicing Pathologist Vol. III (CME VIDEOS)

Description: 

About This CME Teaching Activity ▼

This CME activity is an up-to-date and comprehensive review of a variety of topics in surgical pathology and cytopathology including gastrointestinal, genitourinary, soft tissue, gynecologic and dermatopathology. Emphasis is placed on correlation between cytopathology and surgical pathology findings, pertinent diagnostic techniques, including immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics. This activity also includes an overview of diagnostic pearls which allow for an accurate diagnosis as well as common diagnostic pitfalls.

Target Audience ▼

This CME activity is intended and designed to educate pathologists.
