Accreditation Statement

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Amedco LLC and the Association of Molecular Pathology.  Amedco LLC is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.

Physicians
Amedco LLC designates this live activity for a maximum of 26.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ^TM . Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

CMLE

Application has been made in accordance with Amedco and the joint provider-ship of the ASC and the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP). Course number 7010, up to 25.50 CEs.

Course Objectives*

The objectives of the AMP 2021 MGP Review Course are:

• To assist attendees in preparing for the MGP Subspecialty Certification Exam (offered jointly by the American Board of Pathology and the American Board of Medical Genetics), as well as other certification exams in molecular pathology and molecular genetics.
• To increase basic and applied pathology knowledge, focusing on the molecular pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease.

The AMP 2021 MGP Review Course will be designed to meet the participants' education needs in the physician competency area of Medical Knowledge, as defined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), and to support participants' lifelong learning towards a goal of promoting patient safety and improving patient care. At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to discuss the research underway and/or current molecular approaches to the diagnosis and prognosis of inherited diseases (including Bayesian calculations, pharmacogenetics), molecular hematopathology (including clonality, translocations, and point mutations), cytogenetics, solid and soft tissue tumors, and molecular genetic testing of infectious diseases (including bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic pathogens) as well as DNA identity.

Target Audience

The AMP 2021 MGP Review Course is especially targeted to pathologists, geneticists, technical laboratory directors, molecular pathology laboratory personnel, and trainees who:

• plan to take a molecular diagnostics certification exam in 2021 or 2022;
• want to obtain the molecular pathology expertise needed in today's pathology practice;
• want to understand regulations that govern the development and use of molecular genetic tests for the safety of patients and research subjects; and/or
• want to gain a basic and/or advanced understanding of diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic approaches in the areas of hematopathology (leukemias, lymphomas, lymphoproliferative disorders), solid tumors and soft tissue tumors, infectious diseases (viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic), and inherited diseases, with the goal of improving patient care and enabling constructive interactions with pathologists, other health care practitioners, and laboratory directors and technologists.
  

* DISCLAIMER : AMP makes no guarantee or assurances that completion of its courses or participation in any educational activity will in any manner ensure a passing score on any certification examination or activity post-test, or achievement of certification status. The AMP Molecular Genetic Pathology review course is an educational program provided by the Association for Molecular Pathology, (AMP) and is not sponsored or endorsed by the American Board of Pathology (ABP) or the American Board of Medical Genetics (ABMG).
