 Press Releases

  • The USCAP, based in Palm Springs, CA, is the world’s premier provider of post-graduate pathology education. Its diverse educational offerings include several in-person meetings per year in various locations; a wide variety of digital offerings; and a state-of-the-art interactive microscopy center in Palm Springs. In addition, the USCAP Foundation supports educational efforts for pathologists in under-resourced countries.

    The successful candidate must be an outstanding professional with a demonstrated track record of success in strategic planning and project management, as well as personnel and operations management.

The successful candidate will be accountable to the Board of Directors and will oversee the USCAP staff and operations.

    This is a full-time position, but flexibility allowing a portion of time to be spent on activities aligned with the interests of the USCAP, such as teaching, clinical service, and/or research, will be considered. A willingness to reside full time in Palm Springs is also preferred, but candidates may offer a plan for delivering on the expectations using a commuter model.

    COURSE DESCRIPTION

    Accurate diagnosis in hematopathology relies heavily on the complex integration of data from clinical presentation, conventional microscopy, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and molecular and cytogenetic analyses. Diagnosis is often complicated by the fact that clinically relevant disease subsets can share overlapping diagnostic features, and both baseline appreciation for disease spectrum and appropriate application/interpretation of ancillary testing is lacking. This gap can lead to real and immediate clinical consequences for therapeutic selection and overall patient management.

    While in-house testing for the vast array of available diagnostic, prognostic and predictive markers is not possible in every setting or practice, awareness of their applicability and impact on patient care is the responsibility of both the pathologist and treating clinician. This is particularly true in an era when patients are increasingly knowledgeable about genomic and proteomic analyses and the studies are easily accessible. Approaching this target by strengthening baseline knowledge and skill in application empowers the pathologist as a consultant to the clinical care team.

    This superb faculty will synthesize and deliver this strategic philosophy in the context of intimate mentoring and personalized attention to detail.

    Available Credits 12 CME 
    USCAP Member Price $999, Non-Member Price $1,349, Pathologist-in-Training $799 

    COURSE DESCRIPTION

    Distinguishing between reactive and neoplastic proliferations in blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen and extra-nodal hematopoietic tissues, as well as accurately classifying neoplasms once they are identified, are essential for appropriate patient care. Pathologists struggle with differentiating reactive from neoplastic conditions in these organs, as well as in properly classifying hematopoietic neoplasms once they are diagnosed. This highly respected expert faculty will provide a unique mentoring experience in an intimate study environment at USCAP's Interactive Learning Center. They intend to cover diagnostic criteria for new entities in the 2016 WHO Classification of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasms and provide useful morphologic clues and ancillary techniques to help you distinguish neoplastic and reactive conditions.

    USCAP is transforming not only how we learn, but where we learn. This course will be taught by a world class faculty in one of the most historically important settings in dermatopathology, La Musée des Moulages, the dermatology wax works museum of Hôpital Saint Louis. Dynamic lectures will provide panoramic insight into relevant aspects of dermatopathology including inflammatory dermatoses, melanocytic tumors, cutaneous lymphomas, soft tissue tumors and adnexal tumors. In addition to learning cutting-edge dermatopathology, you will immerse yourselves in the medical history of dermatology and dermatopathology in one of the most important archives of cutaneous diseases. The charm and glamour of Paris with its varied culinary, artistic and architectural allures will make your learning experience even more significant!
