Description

The Osler Institute utilized state-of-the-art equipment to record our Live Virtual Webinar August 2023  comprehensive Cytology Review Course and bring it to you!

This comprehensive review is designed to update your clinical knowledge base and help you pass your Cytopathology exams (certifying or CC).  Emphasis is on evidence-based practice and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating new concepts and testing strategies as well as quality control and laboratory management techniques to help you hone your diagnostic and consulting skills.  Many of our previous participants found the course provided them with improved diagnostic and evaluation skills and helped them recognize specific areas of weakness for self-study.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the common types of cytology specimens and how to prepare them for evaluation correctly.
• Recognize standard elements and benign reactive processes vs. abnormal and neoplastic lesions for each organ system.
• Apply current consensus diagnostic terms and criteria for classifying non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions of each organ system.
• Understand the importance of implementing rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of tissue samples derived from fine needle aspirations to reduce healthcare costs and patient inconvenience.
• Apply increased knowledge of cytopathology to achieve subspecialty certification or recertification.
