15th Annual Midwestern Conference Series: Update Course in Diagnostic Pathology

We’re excited to invite you to our newly revamped annual Midwestern Conference! We look forward to offering a comprehensive and practical update of diagnostic pathology over a four-part series throughout the year with the focus on those involved in community practice. We would like to provide a platform for local pathologists to connect, learn and discuss over this recurring half day conference that is a free, in-person event on the MCW campus. Refreshments will be provided.

Registration is now open!

This series is applicable to practicing pathologists, surgeons, oncologists, pathologists' assistants, and pathologists-in-training. Healthcare professionals who work in other areas of research and diagnostic surgical pathology will also find these sessions beneficial.

Instructional techniques will include didactic lectures with visual support and case-based discussions. Learners will have an opportunity to interact via an audience response system, as well as participate in question-and-answer sessions to address issues relevant to their own practice and learning needs.

Part 1: Saturday, July 20, 2024 | 8 a.m. - 1 p.m.
