Molecular Genetic Pathology VIDEO + PDF

Widen Your Knowledge Base

This course provides practicing pathologists with the most up-to-date information on the rapidly evolving field of molecular genetic pathology. The program features lectures from distinguished leaders in molecular pathology and human genetics including Course Director, Zoran Gatalica, M.D. of Caris Life Sciences, and will help you:

• • • Describe the common types of genetic testing in various aspects of anatomic and clinical pathology
    • Recognize the need for molecular genetic testing in the context of daily practice
    • Identify underlying genetic abnormalities in common diseases
    • Discuss the impact of discovered genetic change with clinical colleagues or patients
