Florida Society of Pathologists (FSP) Summer Pathology Conference 2021

Florida Society of Pathologists (FSP) Summer Pathology Conference 2021 is organized by Florida Society of Pathologists (FSP) and will be held from Jul 17 - 18, 2021 at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, Palm Beach, Florida, United States of America.

Target Audience:
This activity is designed to meet the needs of practicing physicians, pathologists, and other specialists involved with pathology.

Accreditation:
The Florida Medical Association designates this live activity for a maximum of 9.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Statement of Need:
The field of pathology is constantly changing, and many of the most important advances in the field. In the setting of new technology, techniques and advancements in the field, practice gaps are inevitable. As such, pathologists require ongoing educational opportunities to stay current in order to maintain and improve their knowledge and competence in the field.

Educational Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, all participants should be able to:
• Recognize histopathologic changes in tumor and normal epithelium after neoadjuvant systemic therapy.
• Review the reporting systems for breast specimens after neoadjuvant systemic therapy.
• Identify residual carcinoma after systemic therapy.
• Recognize diagnostic features of lesions of the breast.
• Review of breast cases with squamous metaplasia and metaplastic changes.
• Discuss changes in classifications of breast neoplasms from the 5th edition of WHO Classification of Breast Tumors
• Recognize differential diagnosis for spindle cell proliferations of the breast
• Identify the histopathologic and molecular correlates of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma precursor types.
• Identify and properly grade squamo-columnar junction specific cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions. (SIL)
• Recite the spectrum of non-HPV adenocarcinomas in the uterine cervix
• Recognize categories of undifferentiated or poorly differentiated carcinomas of the endometrium.
• Identify potential pitfalls in assessing glandular and squamous neoplasia of the vulva
• Distinguish variants of verruciform proliferations of the vulva
• Distinguish adenosarcoma from atypical endometrial polyp
• Recognize criteria for aggressive variants of low grade ovarian serous neoplasia
• Recognize unusual variants of epithelioid trophoblastic tumors

• Describe the basics of medical malpractice law and the specific legal criteria that determine medical liability
• Recognize the typical timeline of a medical malpractice lawsuit 
• Identify ways to minimize the emotional and psychological impact of a medical malpractice lawsuit on the pathologist and the pathologist's family
