Pathology Courses

About The Course

This course and workshop is designed for general surgical pathologists, pathologists specialized in gynecological pathology, pathologists-in-training, oncological gynecologists and other specialties dealing with gynecological pathology. The aim of the course is to provide participants with a comprehensive review and update on selected topics to harmonize morphologic and molecular findings in gynecological pathology. There will be opportunities to bring one’s own cases for consultation and discussion during the interactive consultation seminar and throughout the breaks. The course includes lectures and slide seminars including unusual cases. Printed and electronic handout materials will be available for each participant.
