Central Nervous System Pathology – A Comprehensive Review VIDEO + PDF

An Up-To-Date Review of Neuropathology

This program delivers the latest and most essential information on neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions of the central nervous system and includes a review of normal histology and basic anatomy. It is designed for training and practicing hospital and lab pathologists preparing for ABP board exams in pathology and neuropathology. Special emphasis is placed on recent developments, current classification approaches and the use of immunohistochemical and molecular testing in sorting through differential diagnoses. The program is also ideal for physicians and trainees in neuroscience-related disciplines including neurosurgery, neurology, pediatric neurology, psychiatry and neuro-oncology. It will help you to better:

• Develop core knowledge in the arena of neuropathology for the purpose of board examination or maintenance of certificate
• Identify the salient histopathologic, immunohistochemical and molecular features of commonly encountered pathologies of the brain and spinal cord
