The targeted audience for this medical meeting basically for Physicians.

Overall Conference Objectives :

Present practical and emerging solutions for automated information and image management in pathology and the clinical laboratories.
Describe how workflow in the clinical laboratories and pathology can be supported and enhanced by new software and hardware solutions.
Understand the various software and hardware products available in the clinical laboratory and pathology market by interacting with a large number of exhibitors.
Present new research in pathology informatics on the basis of submitted competitive scientific abstracts.
Provide a forum for basic pathology informatics instruction for house officers and fellows in pathology training programs.

Pathology Informatics, a subdiscipline of pathology and clinical laboratory medicine, is growing rapidly. In recognition of this fact, we offer registrants to PI-2016 three workshops on the first day and two tracks on the subsequent two and one-half days. The two tracks are the following: (1) Research Informatics and (2) Applied Pathology Informatics, including Digital Pathology. These two tracks are punctuated by plenary lectures to the whole group by noted pathologists and scientists.

We view the role of the exhibitors at PI-2016 as essential to the learning mission because they serve as partners in the deployment of new technology to support the mission of pathology and the clinical labs. Because the training of pathology residents and fellows in pathology informatics is essential to our mission, we have also taken special efforts to award travel grants to them in programs across the country and encourage pathology program directors to view the PI-2016 experience as an “away rotation” for such trainees. Special discounts on the registration fees are offered to them as well as to API and HIMA members.
