Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should have the tools needed to interpret common and uncommon cytological specimens encountered in everyday practice of pathology, including those procured by endoscopic ultrasound guided biopsy.
Accreditation Statement
Harvard Medical School is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Credit Designation
Harvard Medical School designates this educational activity for a maximum of 14.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Release date: March 17, 2008 Credits expire: March 17, 2010
This educational activity is a DVD format. This post-graduate course in cytopathology is designed to be a unique interactive “multi-head-like” experience for the participant. It focuses on specific selected topics covering some of the most challenging areas of cytopathology using a case based format. It is estimated that it should take the average learner 14.5 hours, including completion of the evaluation, to conclude the activity.
CME credit is obtained upon successful completion of a self-assessment examination. A $30 processing fee must accompany the completed program evaluation.
Faculty Disclosure
Harvard Medical School has long held the standard that its continuing medical education courses be free of commercial bias. Now, in accord with the disclosure policy of the Medical School as well as standards set forth by the Accreditation Council on Continuing Medical Education, speakers and their spouses/partners, and planners have been asked to disclose any relationship they have to companies producing pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, prosthesis, etc. that might be germane to the content of their lectures.
Please note that now in accordance with recent policies from the ACCME, relationships of the person involved in the CME activity must include financial relationships of a spouse or partner.
In addition, faculty have been asked to describe any off label uses, they will discuss, of pharmaceuticals and devices for investigational or non-FDA approved purposes.
Such disclosure is not intended to suggest or condone bias in any presentation, but is elicited to provide the course director and registrants with information that might be of potential importance to their evaluation of a given talk. The full disclosure of faculty is listed in the syllabus.
