Chicago Saturday Slide Club - September 2017

Chicago, IL US
September 23, 2017
Join us at The University of Chicago for a Saturday series 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 session will address challenges in practice of hematopathology and the diagnostic criteria 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.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals in the field of pathology.

Learning Objectives

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

  • Describe how to  construct a differential diagnosis by integrating morphology with relevant clinical histories;
  • Assess critically immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry and their pitfalls to avoid misdiagnoses;
  • Discuss the limitations of the WHO classification when dealing with complex entities;
  • State how to integrate molecular and cytogenetic data into the pathology interpretation;
