Solving questions are a great way to retain and recall information. Our vision is to help pathology residents, practising pathologists and medical students remember and retain knowledge better by solving questions. Our questions are oriented in a way that help in theory as well as practice.
APPROACH BASED COURSE- HISTOPATHOLOGY AND CYTOLOGY
Course description: Approach to routine histopathology and cytology specimen and biopsies – An updated pragmatic approach with clinical relevance, of all systems including cytology.
Target audience: Practicing pathologists and pathologists-in-training.
Learning objectives:
- Update adequacy / diagnostic criteria for particular lesions occurring at various body sites
- Understand pitfalls (Technique related, processing related and interpretation related)
- Use of immunohistochemistry- IHC based approach in arriving at a diagnosis
- Pitfalls associated with IHC -When it is not useful.
- Understand classification updates based on new information both molecular and genomic.
- Understand clinical relevance of a report and practice changes that improve and optimize patient care and outcome.
Course format:
- Course materials
- Self assessment
- Quizzes based on real life scenarios
- Approach based wall hangers with differential diagnosis diagrams.
