The practice of gastrointestinal pathology is constantly evolving. Practicing pathologists must adapt to the emergence of new diagnostic entities, an increased need for ancillary testing, and the use of advanced endoscopic techniques for treatment of early gastrointestinal neoplasia, among other challenges. Twelve international experts will provide up-to-date information on all aspects of gastrointestinal pathology. Lectures, engaging case reviews, and interactive sessions will address common diagnostic challenges, relevant and need-to-know updates, ancillary diagnostic tools, and emerging issues in GI pathology.
In-person and livestream attendee participation is encouraged via an audience response system.
