The FSP’s 46th Annual Pathology Conference: Updates and Practical Approaches in Pathology is designed to provide pathologists with education surrounding a wide range of topics and the opportunity to learn and adopt new strategies and tools to aid in the diagnosis and analysis of diseases. The conference will provide practical updates and clinical pearls and pitfalls in thyroid pathology, gastrointestinal pathology and lung pathology. In addition, there will be supplemental education on subspecialty topics in pathology covering a wide range of diseases during interactive read slides and microscopy sessions dispersed throughout the scientific agenda. The following topics will be covered during the interactive microscopy and read slides sessions:
It is very difficult for pathologists to stay current in all organ systems and cancer types therefore, pathologist’s need a regular, educational review of glass slides or digital images in different subspecialties of pathology, our conference delivers this type of unique education. Attending the FSP Conference will allow you to be the best pathologist that you can be, opening your eyes and mind to new developments and cutting-edge diagnostic strategies.
