British Society of Toxicological Pathology

As part of the continuing Modular Education Programme in Toxicological Pathology the BSTP are organising a module in Cambridge on the Urinary System from Monday 1st to Friday 5th July 2013.

This module will be open to both members and non-members of the BSTP and we are pleased to advise that in response to requests from the membership a day delegate rate is provided.

Module Objective:

The main aim of the educational modules is to provide a comprehensive basic education in the field of toxicological pathology.  The BSTP believes it is possible to acquire the basis of a comprehensive education in toxicological pathology by attending all 14 Modules in the series.  The series of Modules covers the basic aspects of toxicological pathology as well as specific information for each organ system. 

Module Description:

Module 12 will focus on the urinary system, looking at renal physiology and endocrinology, in-vivo imaging and animal models of diseases, spontaneous and induced non-proliferative lesions of the kidney in rodents and non-rodents, lesions of the bladder, including structure, spontaneous and induced changes, human urinary tract pathology and drug development, safety pharmacology of the urinary system, biomarkers of injury – including blood, urine and urinary mRNAs.

Who should attend:

The Modules are intended for participants who have had formal undergraduate training in pathology and are actively working in the field.

Some of the content of the Modules will also be new to pathologists who have been working for many years and experienced pathologists can also benefit from an update.

Non-toxicological pathologists with an interest in histology, pathology or toxicology of the urinary system may also benefit from this module.

Continuing Professional Development:

The Royal College of Pathologists have awarded 23 CPD credits for full attendance at this module.
