Statement of Need:
Diagnostic cytopathology performs a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. This course is intended to advance and develop the knowledge base of pathologists in cytopathology. Current criteria and concepts based on cytomorphologic evaluation and approaches to differential diagnosis are the core need for the practice of cytopathology. This course is designed to provide a practical update to cytopathologists, cytotechnologists, general pathologists and fellows/residents in training.

Course Goals and Objectives:
This CME approved course will lead to improved practice of cytopathology leading to enhanced patient care. At the conclusion of this course the attendees will be able to:
• Evaluate cytologic criteria of various non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions
• Be familiar with updated terminology and reporting
• Identify and avoid possible pitfalls in the daily practice of cytopathology
• Appreciate the clinical implications of cytologic interpretations
• Define the value and limitations of fine needle aspirations at various sites

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
