WHY THIS COURSE IS DIFFERENT
The Oakstone Institute’s Pathology Board Review Course is a comprehensive survey of current concepts and standards in pathology. This activity is an in-depth review, and provides pathologists and pathologists-in-training with current, relevant, and condensed information needed to pass certification, recertification, and maintenance of certification exams. It is also valuable if you are simply looking for a great way to keep up with key developments in pathology. A concise format means it will focus only on what is necessary to pass the exam and stay current. More than 15 leading edge presentations are delivered by faculty selected for their outstanding teaching methods and expertise in targeting ‘must-know’ areas.
After viewing this activity, participants should be able to:
Discuss relevant scientific and clinical information necessary to prepare for the American Board of Pathology Certification and Recertification examinations including principles of anatomical and clinical pathology
Exhibit core competencies in pathology as outlined in the American Board of Pathology Maintenance of Certification Process
Apply strategies for studying for the ABPATH examinations and review high-yield topics in question form
Demonstrate an increased comprehension of the current standards and concepts practiced in pathology
