Advancing Diagnostic Gynecological Pathology: A Comprehensive Course for Practicing Pathologists

Diagnostic gynecological pathology is a complex and multifaceted clinical subspecialty that encompasses a vast array of disease entities and histological variants. Recent molecular genetic discoveries have led to the introduction of new and reclassified disease entities, as well as refined diagnostic criteria for existing disease processes. This necessitates an update in knowledge for practicing pathologists to stay abreast of the latest advancements in the field.

This unique course offers an engaged learning experience with world-class faculty from the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists (ISGyP). The comprehensive curriculum is designed to enhance knowledge gains in morphologic recognition and the application of ancillary immunohistochemistry and molecular genetic studies in the most challenging areas, including new disease classifications and diagnostic criteria.
