If investigative pathology is the "road less travelled," publishing is the key to traveling this road. Your publications show where you have been and where you are going; they are the single most important measure of success in academics. This course will call on established experts in Pathology and in publishing to help you produce a great paper and shepherd it successfully through the publication process.
