To present the audience a hands-on experience in diagnostic problems in everyday cytopathology practice and an update on recent developments in the use of special techniques in cytopathology. At the end of the cytopathology course, the learner will be able to identify common problem areas in cytopathology practice, recognize potential pitfalls and develop a differential diagnosis and a management plan.

The impressive course covers general and specialized area of anatomic pathology. An intensive session inflammatory, infectious, and tumor-related diseases, this five-day course reviews all fields in surgical pathology, cytology and forensics.

The objective of this five-day course is to provide pathologists and cytotechnologists with a comprehensive overview of and update on diagnostic cytology. The emphasis is on light microscopic criteria, with the incorporation of immunochemistry, molecular biology, and automation as they apply to cytology.

Scientific recovery, analysis and identification of human remains in the medicolegal context. Forensic anthropologists frequently apply their knowledge of human remains to victim identification, remains search and recovery and the interpretation of skeletal trauma.

Review and update in the areas of clinical immunology, microbiology, and infectious diseases is intended to improve knowledge about the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of infectious diseases, immunological mechanisms of disease and disease prevention, etc.

ASM Conferences provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of specialized scientific information in an environment designed to encourage interaction amongst participants.

This meeting will cover numerous topics including morphogenesis, pathogenesis, molecular cell biology, host response, genomics, proteomics, and fungal evolution. Of special note is the “Sequence workshop/community tool-building session”.
