Conferences
Good conferences are the hallmark of a strong residency program, and we at UT
take particular pride in the quality of our conferences. The conferences cover
a wide spectrum of pathology, and are given by both the faculty and residents.

Autopsy Conference: Most weeks, residents present their
autopsy cases in the Hermann morgue. Once a month, the autopsy conference is
replaced by the clinico-pathologic conference, during which the medicine
resident presents the hospital course of a patient, and the pathology resident
presents the autopsy findings.
Resident CP Conference: Each resident presents at the Monday 8
am CP conference once every 6 months on a CP topic of his/her choice.
CP Case Review Conference: The CP residents get together twice a
week at 3 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays to discuss interesting cases. The
residents at LBJ teleconference for the Wednesday 3 pm conference.
CP Journal Club: The Wednesday CP case review conference is
followed by the discussion of a recently published journal article. The
residents on the various CP rotations take turns in presenting journal
articles.
Hermann Med Path: This conference is a joint medicine and
pathology conference which focuses on 4 interesting cases from the past month.
The cases are discussed by the residents from both specialties.
LBJ Med Path Conference: This is a joint medicine and
pathology conference at the end of every month at LBJ. The most interesting
cases from the past month are discussed by the residents from both services.
Thursday 4 pm Conferences: These are informal unknown slide
conferences mostly given by the residents. A typical month will have one
dermpath and one cytology conference. The other two Thursday conferences may be
on a variety of cases or may focus on one particular organ system.
Tumor Board: Every Tuesday at 5pm, pathology, radiology and
oncology departments discuss difficult tumor cases. The pathology part is
typically done by a senior pathology resident.
Case of the Month: These conferences are given at grand
rounds, typically by the more senior residents.
Pediatric M&M: Given to the pediatrics staff once a month,
this conference is focused on interesting pediatric pathology cases from the
past month. Residents present their own cases.
ENT Conference: Once a month a senior pathology resident meets
with the ENT service to discuss a couple of their interesting cases.
Urology Conference: The senior residents give a series of
talks to the urology residents about urologic pathology.
