Advance Your Knowledge
Masters of Pathology Series – Gastropathology combines traditional lectures and microscopy sessions to review recent concepts in esophagitis, gastritis, and dysplasia, as well as discussions of the small intestine, colon, and anus. This online CME program provides information on difficult and rapidly evolving areas in pathology through sessions that will help you:

- Understand liver neoplasms and medical liver
- Define gastrointestinal and liver mesenchymal tumors
- Assess inflammatory esophagus biopsies, especially those with lymphocytosis
- Evaluate hepatic adenomas
- Recognize clues for separating reactive and neoplastic changes in esophageal and gastric samples
- And more…
