Molecular Genetic Pathology Review Course

Live Virtual 2025 MGP Review Course

Join our faculty of molecular genetic pathology experts to prepare for a certification exam, earn continuing education credits, receive a refresher in molecular pathology core concepts, and stay up to date in the field. This virtual course will include didactic lectures, case studies, and opportunities for live question and answer sessions and in-depth discussions.

DATE: May 12–16, 2025
LOCATION: Virtual online

Objectives:

To assist attendees in preparing for the MGP Subspecialty Certification Exam (offered jointly by the American Board of Pathology and the American Board of Medical Genetics), as well as other certification exams in molecular pathology and molecular genetics, and
To enhance understanding of basic and applied molecular pathology knowledge of both fundamental and applied molecular pathology, including the use of commonly employed assays, as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Participants should also be able to discuss the current molecular approaches to the diagnosis and prognosis of inherited diseases (including pharmacogenetics), molecular hematopathology, cytogenetics, solid and soft tissue tumors, molecular genetic testing of infectious diseases (including bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic pathogens), and DNA identity tests.

Topics:

Molecular Technologies and Lab Methods
NGS Platforms and Informatics
Test Validation, Statistics, and Bayes’ Theorem
Variant interpretation
Identity Testing
HLA Transplant Testing
Cytogenetics
Inherited Conditions
Molecular Oncology
Pharmacogenomics
Molecular Hematopathology
Infectious Diseases
Lab Management and Lab Finances

Audience:

Pathologists, geneticists, clinical laboratory directors, molecular pathology laboratory personnel, and trainees who:

Those preparing for relevant certification exams including but not limited MGP, LGG, ABCC, or ABB exams*
Those seeking institutional credentialing
People who are seeking a refresher in molecular pathology core concepts.
