2 Overview Molecular Diagnostics Training School th 27 th April 2018 Venue: General Hospital of Vienna, Waehringer Guertel 18-20, A-1090 Vienna. Auditorium Centre, Level 8, Conference Room 23 Diagnostics Training School Diagnostic Molecular Pathology is the interrogation of tissue-derived molecules (DNA/RNA/protein) to provide clinically useful information adjunctive to routine histopathological examination. The MUV Department of Pathology, supported by The Austrian Society of Pathology, and the Nottingham Molecular Pathology Node will run the fourth residential training school in Diagnostic Molecular Pathology which will aim to: Teach the theory and utility/limitations of commonly used tests Provide a comprehensive overview of the current use of molecular diagnostics The course is suitable for Trainee and Consultant Pathologists with little or no experience of diagnostic molecular pathology and for non-clinical scientists (who may have some experience with molecular testing) wishing to learn more about the clinical application of molecular diagnostics. Teaching will be delivered in the form of formal didactic lectures, interactive tutorials and problem-solving exercises. The programme will be submitted for continuing professional development recognition by the Austrian Medical Chamber (DFP).
