Background:
It is critical for all
pathologists to maintain and expand our diagnostic skills in diseases of infancy (including placental
pathology), childhood and adolescence. The ability to recognize the diversity of clinical, gross,
microscopic and molecular features of a disease is essential to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and to
provide sound clinical advice.
Slide Survey
The Slide Survey Program of the SPP is intended for
all pathologists and pathology trainees. It consists of 15 histologic slides per year, contributed by
practicing pediatric pathologists, representative of conditions seen in the practice of pediatric
pathology. The slides with a brief clinical history and pertinent questions are mailed to subscribers
with a response card. Subsequently, a summary of findings and case discussion is sent and should be
reviewed. Participants can expect to spend approximately one hour on each case, including reviewing the
history and slide, arriving at a diagnosis, answering the questions, and reviewing the contributor's
summary and case discussion. There will be 3 mailings consisting of 5 cases each.
Program Objectives:
By reviewing the history and slide, arriving at a diagnosis, answering the submitted questions, and
reviewing the contributor's summary and discussion, the participant will gain practical information meant
to improve diagnostic skills and increase understanding of the conditions submitted for evaluation.
Individual evaluation is not provided and the program is not approved as or meant to be a formal
proficiency program.
CME:
The Society for Pediatric Pathology is accredited by the
Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for
physicians.
AMA Designation Statement:
The Society
for Pediatric Pathology designates this educational activity for a maximum of 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™. Physicians should
