Meeting Objective/Target Audience
The objective of the JMD 2013 CME Program in Molecular Diagnostics is to increase basic and applied pathology knowledge, focusing on the molecular pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis, and the treatment of disease. The JMD 2013 CME Program in Molecular Diagnostics 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 and 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.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of the JMD 2013 CME Program in Molecular Diagnostics, participants should be able to:
- discuss the research underway and/or current molecular approaches to the diagnosis and prognosis of inherited diseases and syndromes, pharmacogenetics, cytogenetics, DNA identity tests, and hematopathology, solid and soft tissue tumors; infectious diseases; and acquired diseases spanning systems biology.
- demonstrate a gained level of knowledge of the molecular methods and techniques being used by researchers and practitioners.
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 a footnote to the published article and in each examination.
