• Use the evidence-based information and practice tools presented to better formulate differential diagnoses for most clinical scenarios
• Effectively apply current practice guidelines published by CAP, ASCP and other major medical and governmental agencies
• Recognize common patterns of test results and recommend additional tests, as needed, to characterize the etiology and prognosis of individual patient conditions
• Identify indications and contraindications for transfusion and problems that might arise to better advise attending physicians
• Apply strategies for integrating molecular and genetic testing into routine clinical practice
• Describe the basic technique and pitfall avoidance of fine needle aspiration biopsy performance
• Apply increased knowledge of pathology in order to achieve specialty board certifications
