Preliminary Goals & Objectives
Scientific Abstract Presentations
Review of current clinical and basic science research pertaining to neuropathology with a focus on Canadian centres, but overall international participation. Also a platform for Canadian residents and trainees to present their recent work.
Diagnostic Case Presentations
Interactive discussion of rare and challenging neuropathological cases encountered by participants in their recent practice. Electronic slides and imaging results are distributed prior to meeting. Often includes case presentation by residents and illustrates advances in disease classification and diagnostic technique.
Overall learning objectives for the meeting
At the end of the meeting participants will:
- Describe recent developments in several areas of neuropathology with particular emphasis on the neuropathology of immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the CNS and multiple sclerosis.
- Discuss original research and challenging diagnostic cases with colleagues.
- Compare the practice of neuropathology on an individual and departmental level across Canadian centres.
Program
Please note, all times are in CDT.
President’s Welcome Reception will be Wednesday, October 12th from 1900-2100 at the hotel.
