Head & Neck Pathology community of interest meeting: April 2024
On behalf of The Office of Continuous Professional Development at the Department of Laboratory Medicine & Pathobiology, University of Toronto, we invite you to join us for The Community of Interest Head & Neck Pathology meeting.
All Pathologists, Pathology Fellows, and clinical scientists with an interest in Head & Neck Pathology are invited and welcome!
The goal is to create a forum where both academic and community pathologists share interesting cases and knowledge in a friendly, informal, and collegial manner.

Goals
- Share knowledge in Head & Neck (HNP) and Oral Pathology (OP) via an evidence-based approach;

- Provide a platform for pathologists and clinical scientists to collaborate on research projects in HNP and OP;
- Build a shared HNP/OP teaching archive via digital pathology.
