The Haematological Malignancy Diagnostic Service (HMDS) Integrated Diagnostic Course is an interactive, case-based course with interspersed micro-lectures to address all the aspects of a HMDS setting and integrated reporting.

TOPICS COVERED

Each case will be available for participant-independent review of morphology (through whole slide imaging scans), immunophenotyping, histology, immunohistochemistry and genomic testing results. The participants will then be encouraged to determine the diagnoses followed by discussion with experts in the field. The interspersed lectures will discuss the different diagnostic test methodologies and their interpretation.
