In this online CME program, leaders in diagnostic pathology deliver in-depth discussions of microscopic evaluation of hematolymphoid disorders, as well as the appropriate use of a broad range of ancillary studies. Current Concepts in Hematopathology delivers continuing medical education insights, including:
- common pitfalls in the morphologic interpretation and immunophenotyping of hematolymphoid proliferations
- approaches to cases that do not conform to WHO diagnostic categories
- use of evidence-based guidelines, cytogenetics, and molecular testing to inform diagnosis
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Correctly use morphologic criteria and cost-effectively use ancillary studies to diagnose a broad range of lymph node and bone marrow pathologies
- Apply evidence-based criteria to the diagnosis of myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms
- Diagnose challenging cases that do not readily conform to well-established entities
- Evaluate and distinguish hematolymphoid malignancies from non-neoplastic mimics of malignancy
Target Audience
This course is targeted to specialty physicians who practice in pathology.
