The second annual API Digital Pathology and AI Workshop will be presented on December 7-8. 2018 (see: Digital Pathology and AI Workshop II). The location will be Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus, Ohio. You can register for the workshop here. The capacity for the workshop has been doubled over last year's event, now with a maximum of 80 people. Only nine spaces remain open at this time. A waiting list will be created when these places are filled.

Mark Tuthill, M.D. Below is a quote from the workshop summary page on the API web site describing the workshop in more detail:
This workshop will focus on the practical issues surrounding the deployment of digital pathology and AI in a hospital setting. Ten lectures by national experts will be punctuated by Q and A sessions including industry representatives and a guided tour of the Ohio State University's Department of Pathology. Topics covered will include the fundamentals of digital pathology, the integration of the technology with LISs, the enhancement of AP workflow, the development of an RFP for purchasing digital pathology equipment, and current perspectives about AI within pathology.
This workshop has been planned with busy surgical pathologists and departmental leadership in mind. It lasts only one and a half days and takes place on a Friday and Saturday morning. The pathology department at OSU is the first department in the country providing primary surgical pathology diagnoses using digital pathology so a tour of the imaging facility will be highly educational. A dinner is planned for the Friday night for networking and relaxation and is included in the registration fee.
