Scientific and Academic
Anatomic Pathology
Date: 8 July 2026 | Time: 09:30 – 16:20 | Room: Conference Room Hall 6 | Accreditation : CME 7 credits, CMTE credits
Anatomic pathology is being reshaped by artificial intelligence, molecular diagnostics and foundation models — and the question is no longer whether to adopt these tools, but how to integrate them safely and effectively into clinical practice, training, and laboratory workflow.
This full-day conference brings together leading pathologists from Thailand, Japan, China, Hong Kong and Malaysia to examine the most pressing developments shaping the discipline today. From AI-assisted Gleason grading and breast pathology updates to the future-ready pathologist curriculum and the role of foundation models, the programme offers a practical, evidence-based view of where anatomic pathology is heading across Asia.
