Overview:
The Slide Survey Program of the SPP is intended for pathologists-in-training, general pathologists, and pediatric pathologists. This annual program consists of 18 (3 sets of 6) cases representative of the broad spectrum of perinatal, childhood and adolescent pathology. Cases are distributed three times per year. Each case includes a representative glass slide and/or virtual slide, brief clinical history, and images of pertinent clinical, gross and/or ancillary procedure findings, enabling the subscriber to submit a diagnosis. Three multiple choice questions enhance the learning experience and serve as a mechanism to update the reader on recent advances in the field.

The survey of answers is completed online, and submissions are recorded electronically. A compilation of answer data and brief case discussions with references are then posted online. All PDF files of booklets and discussion sheets are available on the SPP website. Participants should expect to devote 1 hour per case.

The slide survey is created by a subcommittee of the Society for Pediatric Pathology Education Committee. We welcome your suggestions and submission of cases for the 2011 Slide Survey program.

Accreditation:
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 18 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits^TM. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

CME Credits:
Certificates of continuing medical education (CME) Category 1 credit will be issued through the Society for Pediatric Pathology. CME credits will only be awarded after completion of an on-line evaluation form.

Needs Assessment & Objectives:
It is mandatory for pathologists to maintain and improve their diagnostic skills. The ability to recognize the clinical, gross, microscopic and molecular and genetic features of disease, and to correlate the pathologic findings with the clinical presentation is key to a successful continuing education and skill improvement in diagnostic pathology. Upon completion of the survey, the participant will be conversant and updated on the pathologic entities presented and discussed.

Disclosures:
As a sponsor accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Society for Pediatric Pathology must ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all its individually or jointly sponsored educational activities. All planners, speakers and authors for a sponsored activity are required to disclose if they or their spouse/partner have any significant financial interest or other relationship (1) with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services discussed, and (2) with any commercial supporters of the activity. (A �significant financial interest or other relationship� can include such things as grants or research support, status as an employee, consultant, major stock holder, member of speakers bureau, etc.)

In accordance with ACCME guidelines, the planners and authors for the SPP slide survey have indicated that they and their partners/spouses have no significant financial interest or other relationship with a commercial company, entity or service which would be discussed in this educational program. The SPP has also required that the authors disclose any products that are not labeled for the use under discussion.
