The Osler Pathology Virtual Review Spring April 11-17, 2026

1. Overview
The Osler Pathology Virtual Review Spring provides a rigorous and comprehensive overview of anatomic and clinical pathology. The program spans a wide array of subspecialties, including cytopathology, dermatopathology, hematopathology, and infectious disease pathology, equipping participants with the knowledge necessary for accurate diagnostic interpretation and laboratory management.
Course Dates: April 11-17, 2026
This comprehensive review course is designed to strengthen your clinical knowledge and support your success on the Anatomic Pathology (AP) and Clinical Pathology (CP) board examinations, whether for initial certification or continuing certification. The curriculum emphasizes evidence-based practice and board-relevant standards of care, integrating updated concepts, testing strategies, quality assurance principles, and laboratory management essentials. Past attendees consistently report improved diagnostic accuracy, stronger evaluative skills, and clearer insight into areas requiring further study.
The program features didactic lectures with end-of-topic review questions, an e-syllabus containing all presentation slides focused on Blood Bank procedures and Clinical Chemistry. Anatomical Pathology lectures will run from Saturday through Tuesday, followed by Clinical Pathology sessions from Tuesday through Friday. Tuesday serves as an integrated overlap day, offering both AP and CP topics.
2. Learning Objectives

Use the evidence-based information and practice tools presented to formulate differential diagnoses for most clinical scenarios better
Effectively apply current practice guidelines published by CAP, ASCP, and other major medical and governmental agencies
Recognize common patterns of test results and recommend additional tests, as needed, to characterize the etiology and prognosis of individual patient conditions
Identify indications and contraindications for transfusion and problems that might arise to advise better attending physicians
Apply strategies for integrating molecular and genetic testing into routine clinical practice
Describe the basic technique and pitfall avoidance of fine-needle aspiration biopsy performance
Apply increased knowledge of pathology to achieve specialty board certifications

3. Target Audience

Best for pathology residents and practicing pathologists who want a comprehensive review of anatomic and clinical pathology for board preparation or practice updates.
