EDUCATION - SEE SCHEDULE O FOR COMPLETE DESCRIPTIONSCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIA AND MEETINGSTHE ORGANIZATION BRINGS TOGETHER SCIENTISTS FOR THE PROMOTION OF CLINICAL PRACTICE, BASIC RESEARCH, AND EDUCATION IN MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY.THIS YEAR, THE 24TH ANNUAL MEETING WAS HELD IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. THIS THREE-DAY EVENT FEATURED MORE THAN 25 HOURS OF CUTTING-EDGE SESSIONS, A KEYNOTE PRESENTATION BY THE AMP 2018 AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE RECIPIENT, MORE THAN 459 POSTERS, 190 EXHIBITORS, AND COUNTLESS OPPORTUNITIES TO INTERACT DIRECTLY WITH COLLEAGUES. THERE WERE 2,106 REGISTRANTS AND 116 SPEAKERS.AMP PUTS ON A MOLECULAR COURSE FOR COMMUNITY PATHOLOGISTS CALLED THE MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY OUTREACH COURSE - AMPLICONS: A PRACTICAL MOLECULAR TOOLKIT AND CASE STUDIES. SINCE NEW MODELS OF MEDICAL PRACTICE ARE EVOLVING WITH INCREASING ATTENTION TO THE MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY OF DISEASES, THE INTRODUCTION OF MOLECULAR TESTING INTO CLINICAL LABORATORIES HAS INCREASED OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE NOVEL TYPES OF INFORMATION TO HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. THIS COURSE PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF TECHNIQUES AND INSTRUMENTATION USED IN MOLECULAR TESTING FROM THE FRAMEWORK OF THE "MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY/MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC TOOLKIT." THE METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNOLOGIES THAT COMPRISE THIS TOOLKIT WERE INTRODUCED, FOLLOWED BY CASE DISCUSSIONS TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THESE TOOLS ARE EMPLOYED IN THE MOLECULAR TESTING LABORATORY. EMPHASIS WERE PLACED ON MOLECULAR TESTING IN THE AREAS OF CLINICAL GENETICS, SOLID TUMORS, HEMATOPATHOLOY, INFORMATICS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES. THE APPLICATION OF NOVEL TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING WERE HIGHLIGHTED.MOLECULAR GENETIC PATHOLOGY REVIEW COURSE - AMP HAD ITS FIRST MGP REVIEW COURSE IN 2007. IT THEN HAD A LIVE EVENT IN ODD YEARS 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 AND 2017. THE 2017 LIVE EVENT WAS RECORDED AND OFFERED AS AN ONLINE COURSE IN 2018 WITH REVENUE ACCOUNTED FOR IN ONLINE EDUCATION. THE COURSE ITSELF FEATURES 3 1/2 DAYS OF INTENSE UPDATE AND REVIEW OF MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS THAT IS PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON PREPARATION FOR THE MOLECULAR GENETIC PATHOLOGY (MGP) SUBSPECIALTY CERTIFICATION EXAM, AS WELL AS OTHER CERTIFICATION EXAMS. PARTICIPANTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN DIRECTLY FROM RECOGNIZED EXPERTS IN MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY, MOST OF WHOM HOLD MGP CERTIFICATION. A SPECIAL FEATURE IS AN ONLINE PRE-TEST, WITH SPECIAL TEST DISCUSSION SESSIONS DURING THE COURSE.THE OBJECTIVES OF THE AMP MGP REVIEW COURSE ARE:- TO ASSIST ATTENDEES' PREPARATION FOR THE MGP SUBSPECIALTY CERTIFICATON 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 INCREASE BASIC AND APPLIED PATHOLOGY KNOWLEDGE, FOCUSING ON THE MOLECULAR PATHOGENEIS, DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF DISEASE.TOPICS INCLUDE:- MOLECULAR TECHNIQUES AND LAB METHODS- NGS PLATFORMS AND INFORMATICS- IDENTITY TESTING: FORENSICS- HLA TRANSPLANT TESTING- INHERITED CONDITIONS- PHARMACOGENOMICS- CYTOGENETICS- MOLECULAR ONCOLOGY- MOLECULAR HEMATOPATHOLOGY- INFECTIOUS DISEASES, BACTERIAL AND VIRAL- QUALITY ASSURANCE AND LAB REGULATION- LAB MANAGEMENTDISCLAIMER: AMP MAKES NO GUARANTEE OR ASSURANCES THAT COMPLETION OF ITS COURSE OR PARTICIPATION IN ANY EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY WILL IN ANY MANNER ENSURE A PASSING SCORE ON ANY CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION OR ACTIVITY POST-TEST, OR ACHIEVEMENT OF CERTIFICATION STATUS.THE AMP MOLECULAR GENETIC PATHOLOGY REVIEW COURSE, ONLINE AND FACE-TO-FACE, IS AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM PROVIDED BY THE ASSOCIATION FOR MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY, (AMP), AND IS NOT SPONSORED OR ENDORSED BY THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PATHOLOGY, (ABP), OR THE AMERICAN BOARD OF MEDICAL GENETICS, (ABMG).AMP EUROPE 2018 - THE INAUGURAL AMP EUROPE WAS HELD IN ROTTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, ON APRIL 30 - MAY 2, 2018, WITH 300 ATTENDEES, 30 EXHIBITORS, 18 EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS AND 60+ POSTERS. AWARDS WERE PRESENTED FOR TRAVEL, SUPPORT AND YOUNG INVESTIGATOR POSTER PRESENTATION.ONLINE EDUCATION - AMP LAUNCHED "AMPED", ITS ONLINE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN 2018 WITH A LARGE SELECTION OF MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY OFFERINGS, INCLUDING WEBINARS, COURSES, AND MEETING HIGHLIGHTS. MOST OF THE OFFERINGS INCLUDE CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION CREDITS FOR PHYSICIANS AND OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS.
