3 Building Blocks of Cytodiagnosis: The “Gut Course” in FNA Biopsy Common things occur commonly. So, knowing what the common things are and what they look like, will allow you to diagnose most of the cases that come sliding across your microscope stage. This course will present 10 basic types of cells, the building blocks of cytodiagnosis. It is intended as a whirlwind tour of FNA biopsy cytodiagnosis. Among the common problems to be discussed is determining "Where's the Primary?" from a metastasis. Although some useful ancillary testing will be mentioned, the course will primarily review basic "bread and butter" cytomorphology. FACULTY: Richard Demay MD Pathology Residents Cytopathology Cytopathology (Gynecologic) 2.0 CME/CMLE Credits Accreditation Statement: The American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). Credit Designation: The ASCP designates this enduring material for a maximum of 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. ASCP continuing education activities are accepted by California, Florida, and many other states for relicensure of clinical laboratory personnel. ASCP designates these activities for the indicated number of Continuing Medical Laboratory Education (CMLE) credit hours. ASCP CMLE credit hours are acceptable to meet the continuing education requirements for the ASCP Board of Registry Certification Maintenance Program. All ASCP CMLE programs are conducted at intermediate to advanced levels of learning. Continuing medical education (CME) activities offered by ASCP are acceptable for the American Board of Pathology’s Maintenance of Certification Program.
