Yale Pathology Diagnostic Pathology CME Annual Review Scheduled for September 17-18 at Yale Club of NYC

May 02, 2022

The Yale Department of Pathology presents its inaugural Diagnostic Pathology CME Annual Review on September 17-18 at the Yale Club of New York City.

This inaugural course at the Yale Club in the heart of Midtown Manhattan will focus on the recent World Health Organization updates in all major pathology subspecialties. This unique two-day program offers a fully engaged learning experience through didactic lecturing and case presentations provided by world-class Yale faculty. The course emphasizes knowledge gains in morphologic recognition and applications of ancillary studies (molecular, genomic and immunohistochemistry) in the most challenging areas, particularly new disease classification and updated diagnostic criteria.

Featured faculty from Yale School of Medicine and elsewhere include:

Course Director: Pei Hui, MD, PhD, Professor of Pathology; Director, Gynecologic Pathology

Adebowale Adeniran, MD, Professor of Pathology; Director, Cytological Pathology

Natalia Buza, MD, Professor of Pathology; Director, Gynecological Pathology Fellowship

WHO Tumor Classifications have become the gold standard reference book series in serving as a systemic educational tool for practicing pathologists to adopt new disease classifications and related diagnostic criteria. Recent developments in diagnostic pathology, particularly molecular genetic discoveries, have introduced new and reclassified entities as well as refined diagnostic criteria for many exiting disease processes.

These recent developments call for an update for practicing pathologists, which is why this comprehensive review course is essential and highly desirable.

This course is targeted to general and subspecialty pathologists in academic and community practice settings and at all career/expertise level. The highly experienced faculty teaching this course are editorial board members and/or contributing authors to the most recent WHO blue book series.

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

  • Gain competency in applying new disease criteria and disease classifications
  • Gain competency in using ancillary studies to achieve accurate diagnosis
  • Becoming efficient in applying morphologic criteria in correlation with clinical findings for accurate pathology reporting
  • Learn strategies to avoid mismanagement and to enhance communication with clinical teams to ensure optimal patient care

This is a sublime pathology course you can’t afford to miss—a world-class program at the state-of- the-art teaching facilities provided by the Yale Club of New York City in the heart of the most vibrant, culturally enriched Manhattan!
