There was record attendance at the FSP's 2018 Summer Conference held on July 21-22 in Palm Beach, Fla. at the Breakers Hotel with 135 attendees from not only Florida but all over the United States! Our nationally recognized faculty shared diagnostic strategies and practical, yet up-to-date educational pearls on breast and gastrointestinal pathology, and for the first time in years, we heard enlightening presentations on clinical pathology. Esteemed faculty members included Dr. Laura Collins, Dr. Laura Lamps, Dr. David Andrews and Dr. Hadi Yaziji. We also heard from our own local faculty Dr. Stacy Beal from University of Florida, Dr. Ozlen Saglam from Moffit Cancer Center and Dr. Monica Garcia-Buitrago from University of Miami on interesting and unusual cases in pathology.
