Association of Pathology Chairs (APC). ASCP is accredited by the ACCME to
provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The ASCP

Meeting Objective/Target Audience:
The APC 2010 Annual Meeting
will focus on
issues and challenges related to the ability of academic and
hospital departments of pathology and laboratory medicine to provide clinical
service, teaching, and training and to provide a forum for the exchange of
research by scientists and investigators. Academic departments of
pathology and laboratory medicine are facing significant pressures which
adversely impact their ability to carry out their missions of teaching, clinical
service, and research. This meeting focuses on undergraduate (medical school),
graduate (residency and fellowship), and lifelong pathology education, as well
as the development of educational programs and curricula for training of medical
students, residents, fellows, and senior pathologists, and on mechanisms to
provide quality clinical service to patients. At the completion of this
activity, participants should be able to: 1)
apply new
methods and
approaches being used by departments of pathology and laboratory medicine to
accomplish their clinical service and teaching and training missions; 2)
describe
the
Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) regulations
governing graduate medical education and the accreditation of training
programs; and 3) utilize information and data that lead to improvements in the
delivery of pathology clinical and teaching services with the goal of enabling
constructive interactions between pathologists and other health care
practitioners.
The target audience is professionals (MD, DO, PhD) and others who
serve as the academic, medical, scientific, and administrative leaders of
departments of pathology and laboratory medicine in the United States and
Canada.
Disclosure of Financial
Relationships and Resolution of Conflicts of Interest:
In order to ensure balance, independence,
objectivity and scientific rigor in all its educational activities, and in
accordance with ACCME Standards, the ASCP requires all individuals in a position
to influence and/or control the content of ASCP CME activities to disclose to
the ASCP and subsequently to learners whether they do or do not have any
relevant financial relationships with proprietary entities producing health care
goods or services that are discussed in CME activities. Faculty are asked to
use generic names in any discussion of therapeutic options, to base patient care
recommendations on scientific evidence and to base information regarding
commercial products/services on scientific methods generally accepted by the
medical community. All ASCP CME activities are evaluated by participants for
the presence of any commercial bias and this input is used for subsequent CME
planning decisions. The primary purpose of this activity is educational and the
comments, opinions and/or recommendations expressed by the faculty or authors
are their own and not those of ASCP.
None of
the organizers of this educational activity disclosed a relevant financial
relationship.
The following presenters have indicated relationships that have been reviewed
and conflicts of interest resolved. If a presenter is not listed, then
he/she had no relationship to disclose.
