NORTH CAROLINA SOCIETY OF PATHOLOGISTS 2016 Annual Meeting & Shelley Lecture Featuring Stuart J. Schnitt, MD, FCAP Professor of Pathology, Harvard Medical School Director of Anatomic Pathology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Focus on Breast Pathology April 15-16, 2016 The Ballantyne Hotel, Charlotte, NC 4.75 HOURS OF CME! This continuing medical education activity is jointly provided by the North Carolina Society of Pathologists and Southern Regional Area Health Education Center.
OVERVIEW Target Audience and Purpose This course is designed for practicing and academic pathologists, fellows, residents, and medical students in the southeast region, particularly those with an interest or involvement in breast pathology. This activity will update the audience about the diagnostic and prognostic aspects of breast pathology, provide information about current reimbursement status for ancillary tests, and explore other changes to practice at the state and national levels. An open-discussion lunch roundtable will be featured, allowing participants the opportunity to share best practices and challenges. Shelley Lecture The North Carolina Society of Pathologists is pleased to again present this educational activity honoring the late William Shelley, MD, former chair of what was then the Charlotte Memorial pathology residency program and founder of what is now Carolinas Pathology Group. Upon Dr. Shelley s untimely death in 1974, a trust was established to offer education to pathologists in his honor. Keynote Speaker The 2016 Shelley Lecturer will be Stuart J. Schnitt, MD, FCAP. Dr. Schnitt is the Director of the Division of Anatomic Pathology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, co-leader of the Dana Farber Harvard Cancer Center Breast Program, a Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School and an internationally recognized expert in breast pathology. He did his internship and residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston followed by a fellowship in surgical pathology, also at Beth Israel Hospital. Dr. Schnitt has published over 320 original articles, review articles, editorials, commentaries, and book chapters, primarily in the area of breast diseases. He has authored a popular breast pathology textbook entitled Biopsy Interpretation of the Breast, now in its second edition; this book has also been published in Chinese. In addition, he is one of the editors of the 4th Edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumours of the Breast, published in 2012. Dr. Schnitt is a Past President of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (2010-2011). He has lectured extensively around the world. His research interests and contributions to our understanding of benign breast diseases and breast cancer have been broad, but have largely focused on risk factors for local recurrence in patients with invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ treated with breast conserving therapy, benign breast disease and breast cancer risk, and stromal-epithelial interactions in breast tumor progression. Objectives At the conclusion of this educational activity participants should be able to: Review the latest information on the diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancers. Improve practices in assessment and reporting of breast cancer margins. List ancillary tests that may be useful in workup and prognostication of various conditions of the breast, including spindle cell lesions. Review updates in HER2 testing per ASCO/CAP guidelines. Review reimbursement and utilization issues in the use of ancillary studies. Assess important administrative, financial, legislative and legal issues pertaining to the practice of pathology.
