Kenneth M. Earle, MD, former Chair, Department of Neuropathology, initiated a course designed to prepare pathologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons for specialty board certification. This is the 48th iteration, which is dedicated to his memory. The five-day course will proivide a comprehensivereview of neuropathology for individuals interested in the neurosciences and pathology. Lectures will be illustrated by gross and microscopic photographs using PowerPoint presentations, and will be supplemented by a course sylllabus on CD.
Participants in this course will benefit by gaining: - Enhanced knowledge of the pathology and recent development in the pathophysiology of common and unique disorders of the central and perioheral nervous systems and skeletal muscle.
- Familiarization with recently recognized pathologic processes related to the central nad peripheral nrevous systems and skeletal muscle.
- Improved understanding of basic histopathologic, histochemical, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features of disorders of the central and peripheral nrevous systems and skeletal muscle.
- Insight into clinical, radiologic and pathologic correlations, and prognostic factors of central nrevous system lesions.
