Objectives

• Assist attendees in preparing for the MGP Subspecialty Certification Exam offered jointly by the American Board of Pathology and the American Board of Medical Genetics, as well as other molecular pathology and genetics certification exams.
• Enhance understanding of fundamental and applied molecular pathology, including commonly employed assays and the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Participants will discuss current molecular approaches for diagnosis and prognosis of inherited diseases (including pharmacogenetics), molecular hematopathology, cytogenetics, solid and soft tissue tumors, molecular genetic testing of infectious diseases, and DNA identity tests.
