Chicago Saturday Slide Club - April 2016

Chicago, IL US
April 16, 2016

Join us at The University of Chicago for our second Saturday session of dynamic learning and interactive microscopy sessions designed for practicing surgical pathologists and senior trainees. A two-year curriculum has been developed to address each subspecialty in anatomic pathology. The focus will be updates on existing entities, descriptions of new diagnoses, and pearls to avoid pitfalls. Through a guided microscopic tour, this second session will address challenges in gynecologic surgical pathology and the diagnostic gems required to overcome them. To make the discussions more meaningful, cases will be posted on our website prior to the session for preview. They will be presented by faculty and discussed with participants in an interactive manner. Participants are encouraged to bring their own challenging cases to share with the group. References will be provided after the event. Post-discussion questions will be administered for an opportunity to earn SAM credit. Continental breakfast, coffee, lunch, and free parking will be provided.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed for physicians and other allied health professionals within the pathology specialty.
