Wick, University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville, VA 3:50 The History of Electron Microscopy as a Diagnostic Tool - Mark R. Wick, University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville, VA 4:10 Diagnostic Immunohistochemistry in the 20th Century - Mark R. Wick, University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville, VA 4:30 In—situ Hybridization in Diagnostic Anatomic Pathology - Mark H. Stoler, University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, VA The topic for this year’s meeting was determined after a solicitation of ideas from the membership. Responses were collated and the subject of “twentieth-century advances in diagnostic anatomic pathology” prevailed. It was felt that an examination of technological developments between the years 1900 and 2000 would provide a valuable perspective on current practice patterns. Put another way, an assessment of the merits and limitations of “older” technologies can be used to identify optimal ways for implementing them in the year 2012 and beyond. At the completion of the program, participants will be able to outline the chronological evolution of methods in anatomic pathology that were developed to supplement morphological analysis. In addition, they will be able to identify the principal contributions in this topic area in the twentieth century, as well as the persons who made them. Finally, attendees will be able to judge the relative values of “old” technologies in the current practice of anatomic pathology.
