2015-2016 Basic and Clinical Science Course (BCSC): Ophthalmic Pathology and Intraocular Tumors Section 4
2015-2016 Basic and Clinical Science Course, Section 04: Ophthalmic Pathology and Intraocular Tumors
Section 4 presents materials in two Part I, Ophthalmic Pathology; and Part II, Intraocular Clinical Aspects. Part I uses a hierarchy that moves from general to specific to help derive a differential diagnosis for a specific tissue. Part II is a compilation of selected clinical aspects of importance to the general ophthalmologist. Following Part II are the American Joint Committee on Cancer 2010 staging forms for ocular and adnexal tumors.
Upon completion of Section 4, readers should be able
* Describe a structured approach to understanding major ocular conditions based on a hierarchical framework of topography, disease process, general diagnosis and differential diagnosis
* Summarize the steps in handling ocular specimens for pathologic study, including obtaining, dissecting, processing, and staining tissues
* Identify those ophthalmic lesions that indicate systemic disease and are potentially life threatening
Section Robert H. Rosa Jr., MD
About the BCSC
The Academy's Basic and Clinical Science Course (BCSC) is ophthalmology's definitive compilation of scientific research and clinical experience. It is continually updated by a faculty of more than 80 expert ophthalmologists. Each of the 13 volumes includes fundamental clinical knowledge; numerous tables, photos and illustrations; self-assessment questions with answers; and opportunities for earning AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(TM).
Beginning with the 2013-2014 edition, the Academy and the European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO) have partnered to make the BCSC the standard text for all European ophthalmology training programs. The EBO now recommends the BCSC as the primary educational resource for European trainees and ophthalmologists studying for the annual EBO Diploma Exam.
