Current Topics in Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Current Topics in Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology program is intended as a practical overview for pathologists who encounter gastrointestinal specimens in daily practice. Interpretation of mucosal biopsies of the upper GI tract is addressed, as well as recent advances in pancreatic pathology. Case presentations are featured to emphasize presented concepts. Viewers should come away with a better understanding of interpretation of mucosal biopsies, liver biopsies, pancreatic/biliary disorders, and the application of modern techniques to gastrointestinal disorders.
