Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) November 24, 2014 -- Distinguished presenters and product information drove attendees from across the globe to San Francisco, CA for the 10th Annual Pathology Visions Conference, hosted by the Digital Pathology Association (DPA). The conference was held last month at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco. Those that attended the conference represented 28 states, 18 countries and 133 organizations.

As a first time visitor to Pathology Visions annual meeting I was truly impressed with the amount of useful information and informative talks that will certainly advance the field of digital pathology.

Pathology Visions spanned across two days with pre-conference workshops taking place the Sunday before the official start of the conference. Presentations throughout the two days were given by experts in whole slide imaging, image analysis and other aspects of the digital pathology field, as well as workshops that catered to all levels and interests of digital pathology, ranging from “Digital Pathology 101” to “Whole Slide Imaging Validation Guidelines, Quality Improvement and Regulatory Issues for Clinical Implementation.” Throughout the two days, physician attendees had the opportunity to earn up to 5 Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits from the Indiana State Medical Association (ISMA). The presentation PDFs are now available on the DPA website to Pathology Visions attendees. Please contact the DPA Staff with any questions.

Headlining the lineup of distinguished presenters at Pathology Visions 2014 was keynote presenter Dr. Jennifer L. Hunt, with a timely presentation, titled “#SelfieSunday #TransformationTuesday #ThrowbackThursday.” Dr. Hunt currently serves as Chair of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and Aubrey J. Hough Endowed Professor of Pathology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. In her keynote presentation, Dr. Hunt took attendees on a tour of some new innovations of the past decade that have succeeded and failed to be adopted for pathology practice. She also explored some of the potential drivers of uptake in the modern laboratory with a particular emphasis on financial pressures and cost analysis.

At the conclusion of the conference, one attendee posted about his experience in the Pathology Visions mobile app saying, “Enjoyed every part of the meeting. As a first time visitor to Pathology Visions annual meeting I was truly impressed with the amount of useful information and informative talks that will certainly advance the field of digital pathology. Special thanks to the presenters, vendors and all in attendance for making this such a great meeting.”

Prior to the conference, the DPA awarded three pathology residents with Travel Awards. These Travel Awards allowed each resident to attend Pathology Visions at no expense. Winners included:

Travel Award Winners— Nathan Cuka, MD; Vadim Pinskiy, PhD; and Nick Reder, MD, MPH.

At the conclusion of the conference, the DPA gave away Poster Presentation Awards. This competition gave attendees the opportunity to be awarded for their superb knowledge and dedication to the field of digital pathology. Winners included:
