The course is primarily designed for practicing pathologists, particularly those in community practice. The course should also be of interest for pathologists-in-training, surgeons, oncologists, and other health-care professionals interested in understanding the principles underlying the formulation of a histopathologic diagnosis. A broad range of pathology topics will be covered during the three days of the update course by both OSU pathologists and guest outside speakers.
