Wenig, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY The selection of topics for this Companion Meeting was gathered from the input of five members of the North American Society of Head and Neck Pathology (Gary Ellis; Jennifer Hunt; Raja Seethala; Bayardo Ordonez; Lester Thompson), all of whom have served in leadership or speaking roles for the society in the past. The topics were selected by the speakers in order to highlight pitfalls that even experts in the field have made, and how to avoid them. This focus on cases which are difficult or problematic for experts, will provide great insight into these topics for those attending. Based on current literature and updated knowledge, the program is designed to meet the needs of those who routinely interpret head and neck pathology specimens. The objectives of this meeting are aimed to help the attendees stay current in diagnostic criteria in important head and neck lesions. NASHNP endorses this program and its delivery of critical information to those who review head and neck pathology.
