Comprehensive Cytology Review Course: Boost Your Clinical Knowledge and Pass Your Cytopathology Exams

The Osler Institute is proud to offer a comprehensive Cytology Review Course, recorded live in August 2023, to help you excel in your Cytopathology exams (certifying or CC). This in-depth review is designed to update your clinical knowledge base, focusing on evidence-based practice and board-relevant standards of care.

Our expert faculty will guide you through the latest concepts and testing strategies, quality control, and laboratory management techniques to refine your diagnostic and consulting skills. Many of our previous participants reported significant improvement in their diagnostic and evaluation skills, and this course can help you identify areas for self-study.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the common types of cytology specimens and how to prepare them for evaluation correctly.
• Recognize standard elements and benign reactive processes vs. abnormal and neoplastic lesions for each organ system.
• Apply current consensus diagnostic terms and criteria for classifying non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions of each organ system.
• Understand the importance of implementing rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of tissue samples derived from fine needle aspirations to reduce healthcare costs and patient inconvenience.
• Apply increased knowledge of cytopathology to achieve subspecialty certification or recertification.
