Chicago Saturday Slide Club - June 2016

Chicago, IL US
June 4, 2016
Join us at The University of Chicago for our third 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 third session will address challenges in genitourinary surgical pathology and the diagnostic gems required to overcome them. We will focus on kidney, bladder, and prostate tumors, and discuss difficulties in urine cytology. 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. Additionally, post-discussion questions will be administered for an opportunity to earn 6 hours of 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.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this educational activity, participants will be able to:

  • Construct a differential diagnosis of challenging surgical pathology cases in genitourinary pathology, including renal tumors, prostate tumors, bladder lesions, and urine cytology;
  • Construct appropriate panels of immunohistochemical stains to arrive at the correct diagnoses in the above cases;
  • Diagnose challenging surgical pathology cases in genitourinary pathology using results from relevant molecular techniques to provide pertinent prognostic and therapeutic information in their reports;
  • Describe new classification and grading systems of tumors of the genitourinary tract for use in final reports.
