Previous Courses

The Vincent Academy of Pathology (VAP) has been organizing several diagnostic courses for practicing pathologists as well as pathologists in training since 2016. Well-known experts in different fields of pathology have been sharing their experiences with the participants from more than 26 countries.

One unique feature of the VAP-courses is the main focus on interactive presentation and discussion of the selected cases using “live microscopy” with extensive discussion of main differential diagnoses and common diagnostic pitfalls.
