Educational Objective/Target Audience
The objective of the ASIP 2013 AJP CME Program in Pathogenesis is to increase basic and applied pathology knowledge, focusing on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis, and the treatment of disease. The ASIP 2013 AJP CME Program in Pathogenesis is designed to meet the participants’ education needs in the physician competency area of Medical Knowledge, as defined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), and to support participants’ lifelong learning towards a goal of promoting patient safety and improving patient care. The program is specifically targeted to trainees, clinicians and researchers investigating mechanisms of disease who wish to advance their knowledge of the cellular and molecular biology of disease.

At the completion of the ASIP 2013 AJP CME Program in Pathogenesis, participants should be able to:

• discuss the research underway and/or current molecular approaches to decipher the pathogenesis of disease;
• demonstrate a gained level of knowledge of the methods and techniques being used by researchers and practitioners;
• understand the link between pathogenesis and the development of new diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic approaches to infectious diseases, to inherited diseases and syndromes, and to acquired diseases and syndromes spanning systems biology (including cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, immunopathology, matrix biology, metabolic and endocrine pathobiology, musculoskeletal, neurologic, and vascular biology).

Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Resolution of Conflicts of Interest

In order to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in all its educational activities, and in accordance with ACCME Standards, the ASCP requires that all individuals in a position to influence and/or control the content of ASCP CME activities disclose to the ASCP and subsequently to learners whether they do or do not have any relevant financial relationships with proprietary entities producing health care goods or services that are discussed in CME activities.

Faculty are asked to use generic names in any discussion of therapeutic options, to base patient care recommendations on scientific evidence and to base information regarding commercial products/services on scientific methods generally accepted by the medical community. All ASCP CME activities are evaluated by participants for the presence of any commercial bias and thus input is used for subsequent CME planning decisions. The primary purpose of this journal-based CME activity is educational and the comments, opinions, and/or recommendations expressed by the faculty or authors are their own and not those of ASCP or ASIP.

 

The planning committee members and staff of this journal-based CME activity have no relevant financial relationships with commercial interest to disclose. Relevant financial relationships of the authors of selected articles in this journal-based CME activity will be disclosed in the published article and in each journal CME examination.
