36th Conference on Pediatric Disease

Aspen, CO US
August 1, 2016 to August 5, 2016
Continuing in the tradition of pediatric pathology conferences in the Aspen area since 1970, the 2016 lecture-based course is designed for general and pediatric pathologists, but will be of interest to pediatric surgeons and pediatricians who would like to advance their knowledge in various pediatric neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. Handouts and PowerPoint presentations, including case discussions, will be posted on The University of Chicago website. Each participant will receive a microscopic slide set of 24 cases with clinical histories in advance. The cases will be discussed in detail during the conference. A microscope will be available to review with faculty interesting cases that participants may bring to the conference. In addition, an academic poster session consisting of current topics in pediatric pathology will be presented. Abstracts can be submitted by any participant to Aliya N. Husain, MD, at the University of Chicago by clicking here.
