United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) Annual Meeting
|
|
Saturday, March 20, 2010
Duration: 7 days |
| This annual week-long meeting is held in the late winter or early spring. It regularly attracts 3000 pathologists from the United States and Canada, as well as several hundred scientists from abroad. The scientific and educational composition of the program reflects the above-stated mission of the Academy, with the following format:
Platform and Poster Sessions: These are major forums for the presentation of original papers that deal with recent advances in pathology, both in areas of utilitarian information and in basic science. The objective is to foster informed discussion in a relaxed atmosphere.
Long Course: The annual Long Course provides an in-depth review of recent advances in the pathology and pathobiology of a specific organ system or disease process. This day-long presentation introduces new concepts in biology and disease and bridges them with the practical needs of hospital-based pathologists.
Short Courses: A series of half-day "Short Courses" is conducted by educators, selected and rotated, to present "state-of-the-art" concepts on timely aspects of the many sub-disciplines of pathology. The objectives of these courses are: to update basic science information and concepts, to provide an understanding of current techniques and procedures that relate to pathology, and foremost, to broaden the professional competency of attendees.
Special Courses: These day-long didactic courses are structured to provide pathologists with in-depth knowledge of advanced scientific techniques and methodologies.
Specialty Conferences: The evening Specialty Conferences have a case presentation format wherein highly experienced faculties discuss current diagnostic problems and methodologies.
The Maude Abbott Lecture is a prestigious, scholarly, scientific lecture. It is presented by a recognized person in contemporary pathology who has contributed to the advancement of pathology in the areas of teaching, research or practice. This lectureship was established in memory of Maude Abbott, a founding member and the initial secretary of the Academy for 33 years.
Nathan Kaufman Timely Topics Lecture: This plenary lecture regularly concerns a major area of scientific interest and concern to pathologists.
Companion Meetings: National societies, associations, and "clubs" in the subdisciplines of pathology, hold their half-day scientific programs in companionship with the Academy. Their presentations richly supplement the Academy's program. |
