Harvard 45th Annual Current Concepts in Surgical Pathology 2024

This virtual course presents a broad overview of many areas of surgical pathology and is led by Harvard Medical School faculty with known expertise in specific subject matter areas. The course is designed to update both academic and community pathologists with new advances in surgical pathology. It also aims to provide aids in diagnosis based upon conventional morphologic analysis and discuss contemporary applications of immunohistochemical and molecular studies in diagnostic pathology. This five-day virtual course features didactic lectures, case presentations, and opportunity for interaction with faculty in question-and-answer periods. Lectures will be available in PDF format for download. Scanned slides for the case presentations will be available online to preview. Lectures will be available to review online for 90 days after completion of the live course.
