This Advanced Course is designed in two parts to equip pathologists with essential skills in understanding and applying molecular diagnostic testing.
The ability of a pathologist to understand molecular diagnostic testing has become crucial in our profession.
The BSP Molecular Pathology working group – under the auspices of the Belgian Society of Pathology – organises this course.
