Harvard Gastrointestinal, Liver, and Pancreatic Pathology 2025

19 views Tags: Harvard Medical School Gastroenterology and Hepatology CME

Harvard Gastrointestinal, Liver, and Pancreatic Pathology 2025 is an in-depth CME course led by renowned faculty from Harvard Medical School (HMS) and select distinguished guest speakers. This program offers a comprehensive and up-to-date review of gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic pathology, with a particular focus on:

  • New disease entities and recent advances in diagnostic surgical pathology that are highly relevant to current practice.
  • A systematic approach to evaluating biopsy and resection specimens—from gross examination to microscopic assessment—integrated with the appropriate use of ancillary techniques such as immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics.
  • Clinical application and practice-oriented learning, equipping participants with tools to improve diagnostic precision and patient outcomes through better use of biomarkers and emerging strategies.

* Date of Original Release: May 12-14, 2025

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss updates in the new WHO classification of tumors of the digestive system.
  • Identify newly described entities in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory disorders of the GI tract.
  • Evaluate morphological criteria and role of ancillary techniques (immunohistochemistry and molecular methods) in diagnosis of pre-neoplastic lesions of the GI tract.
  • Use screening methods for heritable cancers and standard of care biomarkers currently used for targeted therapy.
  • Recognize nuances of interpretation of morphological patterns in liver biopsy interpretation and how to integrate them with clinical findings to render a final diagnosis.
  • Recognize proper application and limitations of disease staging and grading systems.
  • Recognize common and uncommon hepatic tumors.
  • Recognize nuances of interpretation of morphological patterns in pancreatic biopsy interpretation and how to integrate them with clinical findings to render a final diagnosis.
  • Describe the spectrum of benign and neoplastic pancreatic disorders with emphasis on use of proper nomenclature and reporting findings of prognostic significance.
