Clinical Updates

2025 Cleveland Clinic Multispecialty Pathology Symposium

January 24-26, 2025  |  Encore at Wynn Las Vegas

Overview

This pathology symposium will focus on practical discussions of commonly encountered problems in surgical pathology. The goal is to provide useful tips that the speakers utilize in their own practice at the microscope. We aim to address and discuss common problems and avoid an undue focus on esoterica.

In this course, renowned subspecialists who are highly sought-after for their teaching skills will cover a broad spectrum of cases, including genitourinary pathology, thoracic pathology, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary pathology, gynecologic cancer, and breast pathology.

Practicing pathologists, fellows, and residents who attend will maintain, develop, and increase their knowledge, competence, and professional performance, with the intent to improve diagnosis and positively impact patient care.

Target Audience: Pathologists, Pathology Residents & Fellows

This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 credit™.
