Gastrointestinal Pathology – Masters of Pathology Series 2018 (CME Videos)

Overview

Gastrointestinal Pathology – Masters of Pathology Series 2018 (CME Videos) provides a comprehensive review of both non-neoplastic and neoplastic pathology of the tubular gastrointestinal tract. This course emphasizes biopsy interpretation, which is critical for guiding clinical management and surgical decision-making. It also covers common iatrogenic injuries and mesenchymal tumors affecting the entire gastrointestinal tract.
