Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
March 2 - 4, 2011

The educational objectives for the short course program are: to sharpen existing expertise, to enhance the participants spectrum of professional competence, to stimulate interest, understanding and preparation for future responsibilities, to update basic science concepts for procedures and precepts used in practice and to provide, when needed, an understanding of current standards, techniques, criteria, classifications, etc. Short Courses are each three hours in duration and are presented on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, in the morning or afternoon. Wednesday courses are scheduled from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 N or from 1:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. (With an hour break to allow viewing of the posters). Thursday and Friday courses are scheduled from 8:00 - 11:30 a.m. or from 1:00 - 4:30 p.m. (With a half hour break included) Each course description contains information on the type of study material that will be provided. Some courses have virtual slides or digital images and case histories for advance study. These study sets will be available online before the Annual Meeting. Registrants will receive an email instructing them on how to access the online materials from the USCAP website. After the meeting, all registrants will be sent an email containing instructions on how to access their short course materials on the USCAP website to view or keep for their future reference. Most short courses may be used as Self-Assessment Module (SAM) credits toward satisfying the American Board of Pathology requirements for SAM for Maintenance of Certification. Successful completion of a post-test is required to earn SAM credits. Courses which may be used as SAM will have this indicated at the end of the course description. In keeping with the short course rotation policy, certain courses will not be offered after the 2011 meeting. This information is noted at the end of the course description of those courses. Courses which are new for 2011 are also identified. PRE-REGISTRATION IS RECOMMENDED SHORT COURSE FACULTY Name Course Name Course     Susan C. Abraham 53     Grace E.
