Room 134 (North Building, Lower Level)
Target Audience
Clinicians, nurses, fellows, residents, and researchers looking to broaden their
clinical acumen to facilitate clinical and translational research.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• recognize clinical, radiographic, and pathologic findings of rare diseases;
• gain insight into clinical decision making skills demonstrated by master
clinicians, radiologists and pathologists which will improve the quality of
learners’ practice and potentially improve quality of care for the learner’s
patients;
• develop strategies to evaluate patients with common symptoms that include
uncommon/rare diseases in the differential diagnosis when appropriate.
This session will consist of unique cases presented and discussed by fellows
with a panel of clinical experts to moderate the discussion and provide
commentary. The cases will provide new insights into disease pathogenesis,
diagnosis, and/or treatment. Selected cases will include clear clinical teaching
points with review of associated pathology and radiology as appropriate. Finally,
the discussion will highlight medical decision making important for both
physicians-in-training and seasoned clinicians.
