Description
This comprehensive review is designed to update your clinical knowledge base and advance your ability to contribute to the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of individual patients as well as to help you pass your Pathology CP exams (Certifying and Continuous Certification). The course includes didactic lectures with embedded review questions for all topics covered in CP exams with special emphasis on Blood Bank procedures (dedicated question-based review) and Clinical Chemistry plus online multiple-choice practice questions.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this course participants should be able to:
• 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
