This program was developed to provide laboratorians with an understanding of nine different areas of study within molecular pathology.

After completing this program, participants will be able to:

• Describe DNA structure, RNA structure, and mutations
• Discuss the differences in amplification methods
• Explain the different modes of inheritance
• Discuss different types of molecular testing
• Understand the importance of quality control, quality assurance, and development and validation of assays

Developed with all levels of laboratory professionals in mind, the content of this program is at the basic to intermediate level and will provide participants with opportunities to increase their knowledge of molecular pathology.

The AACC Molecular Pathology Division created this nine-course certificate program to present the essentials of molecular pathology. The expert faculty are experienced educators who have extensive knowledge of molecular pathology and diagnostics.
