15th Annual Midwestern Conference Series: Update Course in Diagnostic Pathology

Conference Overview

We’re excited to invite you to our newly revamped annual Midwestern Conference! We look forward to offering a comprehensive and practical update of diagnostic pathology over a four-part series throughout the year with the focus on those involved in community practice. We would like to provide a platform for local pathologists to connect, learn and discuss over this recurring half day conference that is a free, in-person event on the MCW campus. Refreshments will be provided.
Midwestern Conference

Registration is now open!

This series is applicable to practicing pathologists, surgeons, oncologists, pathologists' assistants, and pathologists-in-training. Healthcare professionals who work in other areas of research and diagnostic surgical pathology will also find these sessions beneficial.

Learners will have an opportunity to interact via an audience response system, as well as participate in question-and-answer sessions to address issues relevant to their own practice and learning needs.
