BrandonSheffield Brandon Sheffield, MD, PGY-4, Anatomical Pathology, UBC
  • Molecular genetic pathology, case-based learning session

  • This module, custom-designed for pathology residents, covers some of the key topics in molecular genetics that are faced by pathologists in day-to-day practice. The module uses a case-based approach to introduce and explore aspects of molecular pathology such as immunohistochemical diagnoses, biomarker testing, hereditary cancer screening, and next-generation sequencing approaches to personalized medicine. Residents will be able to explore various online resources to augment the case study, and have access to experts for assistance with these tools. This module represents a unique opportunity for pathology residents to learn how to incorporate emerging technology and ideas into their daily practice.
