Practical Surgical Pathology
September 11 - 13, 2008
The Practical Surgical Pathology conference will address common but difficult diagnostic problems encountered by the pathologist in everyday practice. Every effort will be made to present cases of common practical value. Participants and faculty will review case histories, examine case images and formulate the diagnosis. The unique subtleties and differentiating characteristics of each diagnosis are then highlighted. Faculty and participants will also discuss strategies for managing each patient’s case. Images of all cases presented will be provided on a DVD to be viewed by virtual microscopy.
Throughout the two and one-half days of the conference, 32 cases will be presented and discussed. Audience participation is strongly encouraged.

Integration Through Community Laboratory Insourcing
October 1 - 3, 2008
Critical patient care decisions frequently require immediate access to important laboratory results. A community-based laboratory can provide continuity across the continuum of care benefiting patients, physicians and the health system. This concept, defined as laboratory outreach, presents the following advantages: increased hospital revenue, lower fixed cost per test, reduced excess lab capacity, faster turnaround times and lower overall costs per episode of care.
The development, implementation and growth of a successful laboratory outreach program is a critical component of health system integration. This course will present a practical approach to all aspects of developing and growing a successful laboratory outreach program. Experienced faculty will share their knowledge on how a laboratory can reach its maximum potential.

Genomics in Everyday Medical Practice
October 10 - 11, 2008
Genomic medicine is here. Are you keeping pace?
The use of genomic information has changed the practice of medicine. The primary care provider must be familiar with the latest genomic evaluations and diagnostic strategies to provide the best care for their patients. Attend this course to learn what you need to know of this rapidly changing area of primary care medicine. There is much media attention regarding genomics and "individualized medicine." Don't be stumped by patients who ask you about genetic tests and treatments that they learn about from the Internet, newspapers, or magazines. Attend this course and move into the primary care practice of genomic medicine today!

3rd Mayo Clinic Angiogenesis Symposium: State of the Art Connections From Biology to Translational
October 24 - 26, 2008
The main goal of our symposium is to bring together basic science and clinical experts in the field of
angiogenesis to facilitate the exchange of ideas and science involving basic biology and pathways of
angiogenesis and new anti-angiogenic agents that can be used for specific targeting of tumor blood
vessels and stroma. Moreover, the clinician scientists will present the results of ongoing clinical trials on
anti-angiogenic therapy. This symposium will be a strong link in the establishment of a Mayo Clinic
Angiogenesis Program. Furthermore, novel genetic as well as imaging methods to assess tumor
vasculature for monitoring the effectiveness of angiogenic response in the pre-clinical and clinical trials
will be discussed in this symposium. Overall, the symposium will assist in establishing strong
collaborations among leading national, international, and Mayo Clinic experts in the field.
