Marketing the Cytologists: How Cytologists generate revenue for the Pathology Laboratory.
Celebrate Medical Laboratory Professional Week with a dynamic educational course designed to help enhance your knowledge and skills in advanced cytopathology practice.
The evolution of minimally invasive techniques and new diagnostic modalities placed new demands on medical laboratories. Cytologists find themselves uniquely poised to take on these new responsibilities. The Advanced Cytopathology Education Program will address potential roles for cytologists that go beyond screening cytology slides to add value and improve quality in the laboratory.
ACE will cover the current and future Cytopathology changes and developments with:
- Highly comprehensive and customized educational sessions to enhance diagnostic techniques
- Engaging and interactive educational strategies
- A dynamic, world-renowned faculty
- A professional and practice trends Q&A with cytology thought leaders
Target Audience
Primary audience: cytotechnologists, cytotechnology students, cytopathologists, pathology residents and cytopathology fellows
Learning Objectives
- Understand the role of HPV testing for cervical cancer and precursor lesions.
- Accurately code for rapid onsite evaluations (ROSE) in the cytology practice.
- Explain the basic knowledge of artificial intelligence and digital cytology.
- Explain limitations in pelvic washing cytology and staging for positive specimens.
- Demonstrate real-world benefits of advanced cytology roles to assist in marketing the evolution of the Cytologist.
