Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/108c7e/current_topics_in) has announced the addition of the "Current Topics in Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology" training to their offering.
Current Topics in Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology program is intended as a practical overview for pathologists who encounter gastrointestinal specimens in daily practice. Interpretation of mucosal biopsies of the upper GI tract is addressed, as well as recent advances in pancreatic pathology. Case presentations are featured to emphasize presented concepts. Viewers should come away with a better understanding of interpretation of mucosal biopsies, liver biopsies, pancreatic/biliary disorders, and the application of modern techniques to gastrointestinal disorders.
Learning Objectives
- After viewing this activity, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the classification of colitis-associated dysplasia
- Identify common pitfalls in the evaluation of esophageal biopsies
- List critical issues involved in colon cancer staging
- Recognize the differential diagnostic work-up of gastric and small bowel entities
- Define common pitfalls in the evaluation of neoplastic and non-neoplastic liver diseases
- Present a logical approach towards the diagnosis of key pancreatibiliary lesions
- Review practical diagnostic "tips" in a variety of gastrointestional tract lesions, including pediatric biopsy specimens
