Description
The Multidisciplinary Breast Pathology (MBP) Online Courses and Virtual Workshop consists of six self-paced, online courses that serve as the foundation for the program and a virtual workshop that is delivered in 4- to 5-hour sessions over 3 consecutive workdays by a multidisciplinary faculty of experts in pathology, oncology, radiology, and surgery. This program is intended for pathologists with intermediate or higher skill level in breast pathology who want to learn more about HER2 and ER/PgR testing guidelines; specimen handling and molecular analysis in relation to breast predictive factor testing; pathologic–radiologic correlation when interpreting breast biopsies; treatment implications; and breast conservation.

The program consists of six online courses (10.5 CME) and a virtual workshop (12 CME) for a total of 22.5 CME credits, which are summarized below.

Six Online Courses

• 2018 HER2 Focused Update

Objectives
After completing this activity, you should be able to:

1. Understand the implications of findings from the major breast imaging modalities and correlate these findings with clinical and histologic information in order to provide appropriate recommendations for patient management and additional diagnostic steps when needed.
2. Explain and implement best practices in breast pathology: specimen handling, assay criteria and selection, process management, and remediation of test performance issues in support of optimum patient care.
3. Evaluate and interpret breast predictive factors test results following the ASCO-CAP guidelines for cases representing all levels of complexity, integrating the test results with clinical and morphologic findings.
4. Explain breast cancer treatment options and their associated toxicities, cost implications, and efficacy as indicated by test results.
5. Explain the goals of breast surgery and describe the different types of surgery.
