Abstract
The undeniable growth of molecular pathology in biomedical science continues and is now an established discipline in its own right. At present, the IBMS offers a 'Certificate of Expert Practice', and to this will be added a 'Specialist Diploma', the latter consisting of a number of independent but linked modules.
Andrew's talk will be providing an overview of these two qualifications, and where they sit in the IBMS's qualifications structure.
Learning outcomes
This presentation will give:
- Awareness of the new Molecular Pathology Advisory Panel
- Knowledge of the new Specialist Diploma in Molecular Pathology
- Updates on the non-coding RNAs
