Chicago Saturday Slide Club - October 2016 Original
Chicago, IL US
October 8, 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.
