USCAP Placental and Perinatal Pathology A Tour of Common and Rare Disorders with a Focus on Clinical Relevance 2023
This interactive course serves to introduce pathologists-in-training and in practice to grossly and microscopically evaluate perinatal specimens received intact and fragmented from all gestational ages, with the following emphases:
Most commonly encountered embryofetal specimen types: how to evaluate and triage them.
Gross and microscopic emphasis on the most commonly encountered anomalies.
Diagnostic interpretation of pathologic findings, including definitive observations and recommendations for further clinical evaluation.
Gross and microscopic pathology of the placenta including both common and rare pathologies.
The course includes both lectures and case-based interactive microscopy sessions.
