Current Issues in Anatomic Pathology Conference
Presented by the University of California, San Francisco and Stanford Departments of Pathology (See UCSF & STANFORD C.I. Website)
This annual CME course addresses a wide range of topics in anatomic pathology and explores new and evolving areas in the diagnosis and analysis of disease. It aims to provide the latest practical and theoretical information that will aid the practicing pathologist in solving those problems most often encountered in the anatomic pathology laboratory. The faculty consists of a combination of UCSF and Stanford faculty, as well as 4 selected, well-known guest faculty from other institutions.
The course offers didactic lectures, microscopic video tutorials, and individual microscopic glass slide review of interesting cases discussed by the lecturers. In addition, the course utilizes a state-of-the-art audience response system for some of the sessions that significantly enhances the learning process. A complete syllabus is provided. The course takes place annually either at the end of May on the Thur-Sat preceding Memorial Day or at the end of the first week in June. In 2007, the course will be held on May 24-26 at the Hilton Financial District, located at the border of downtown and Chinatown in San Francisco. In addition, a full day cytology small group tutorial will be held on May 23. See the UCSF website, CME for more information and registration.
Mechanisms of Disease Conference
Presented by the University of California, San Francisco Departments of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
The Departments of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine jointly host a Mechanisms of Disease Conference each Thursday morning 8am-9am in HSW 302 where new research findings and emerging concepts of pathogenesis are presented by residents and fellows to an audience that includes medical students, housestaff, and senior clinical and research faculty from many departments. This conference often serves as a springboard for discussions of diagnostic and therapeutic implications of recent advances presented in the medical literature. Category I Continuing Medical Education credits are available to all attendees.
