Overview

In recent years, digital pathology has emerged as a promising new standard of care, allowing for the scanning, analysis, and storage of pathology slides in a digital format. Digital workflows have demonstrated patient care benefits, including reliable and rapid retrieval of digital images, the ability to review pathology slides digitally, support for remote work and telepathology, the use of computational aided tools, and the sharing of digital images for consultations and educational purposes.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) has been a pioneer in adopting digital pathology systems since 2006, having scanned over 8.5 million slides across various scanner models to date. The insights gained at MSK provide valuable guidance for other institutions looking to advance their own digital pathology adoption.

MSK's Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is proud to present its annual 2-day course in conjunction with the Digital Pathology Association (DPA). The goal of this course is to offer participants the opportunity to learn about the latest advances in digital pathology while engaging with fellow pathologists and researchers in the field. The program will feature a series of engaging lectures and discussions led by MSK pathology faculty, along with a special presentation by the DPA. Additionally, participants will have the option to take a guided tour of MSK's Digital Pathology laboratory areas.

Lectures and Discussions — The lectures and discussions will focus on practical aspects of digital pathology operations, covering key areas such as the necessary infrastructure and ecosystem, the digital pathology validation process, regulatory considerations, the integration of AI-based tools, and the financial aspects of managing a digital pathology operation

Digital Pathology Tour at MSK: Operations, Hardware, and Software — As in previous years, participants will have the opportunity to register for a complimentary guided tour and demonstration of the MSK Digital Pathology laboratory. The tour will cover scanning operations and preanalytical processes. Due to logistical limitations, the tour is limited to 60 participants, so early registration is strongly encouraged. At this time, the tour is available only to external participants (non-MSK employees). Please note that CME credits will not be offered for this tour.

Networking Reception — All attendees are invited to a reception on Friday evening at Zuckerman Research Center, offering an opportunity to network and engage with fellow participants and faculty. Hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served. Please RSVP during registration.

Online Syllabus — An online syllabus will be available to all attendees after the conclusion of the overall course. The syllabus will include select PDFs of the faculty presentations (slides).

The target audience for this course includes pathologists and researchers who are interested in learning about operating digital pathology operations at scale and in the clinical implementation of digital pathology and AI tools.

Objectives
  1. Describe digital pathology history and integration in pathology practice
  2. Explain the validation process required for clinical grade digital pathology
  3. Discuss the regulatory aspects of digital pathology
  4. Survey the digital pathology laboratory facilities and view digital tools used in the digital workflows
  5. Recognize the financial cost of digital pathology implementation
