This course aims to teach learners the main diagnostic processes used in biopsy interpretation, how to handle artifacts and prior treatment effects, and how to produce a clinically useful histopathology report. The course covers skills such as understanding different cancer types, recognizing common lymphoma patterns, and writing integrated pathology reports. The teaching method involves following the journey of a biopsy sample from slide to report. This course is intended for individuals in the field of anatomical pathology seeking to enhance their skills in biopsy interpretation and report writing.
