I am a big fan of Scientific Symposiums. The sessions are well-run, intellectually stimulating, and fun. In addition to lectures offering timely reviews and updates, the last session each day is run as a panel discussion, where one speaker presents cases as unknowns to other speakers and the audience. This makes for an exciting exchange of ideas and insights. The size of the meeting and welcoming atmosphere is such that everyone seems comfortable participating. I have probably learned as much from audience questions and comments as I have from the excellent lectures. Scientific Symposiums has sponsored these educational events for 25 years, and the experienced organizers pay attention to every detail to ensure a successful meeting. With high quality education providing CME in beautiful settings, it is no surprise that many attendees return regularly to Scientific Symposiums. I plan to as well.

our attendees say

  • This is the best course ever! I highly recommend the 5-hour program to give you time to see the beautiful island. I will definitely come back! Please make sure you keep this location. I love, love, love it!

  • The review is always helpful and then when you add new information, it can only be beneficial.

  • Continue to do what you're doing - Recruit speakers who can give practical updates to major issues of surgical pathology

  • I have consistently come away with new ideas or knowledge, even as a specialist in the fields being discussed. I have saved the handouts over the years, and find myself referring to them often.

  • The topics were well chosen; very timely and practical. The speakers gave extremely good presentations. It could not have been better. An added bonus, the golf courses were wide open!

  • The organizers do a great job making sure the experience is hassle-free and also make sure that the emphasis is on practical pathology.

  • The intimate environment and extended faculty presence over four or five days of every course provides the perfect setting for a very enjoyable and enlightening interchange of ideas and discussion of issues.

  • The Scientific Symposiums International courses consistently feature very high quality faculty whose lectures are specifically attuned to the practical needs of the general surgical pathologist.

  • The knowledge acquired will improve my performance, especially in neuropathology.

  • These courses are great. They're designed to cover specialty topics with both general reviews and advanced updates, thereby meeting the educational needs of attendees with quite varied backgrounds.

  • As someone who has been involved in numerous courses over the years an associated with a number of different organizations, I can honestly say that I enjoy the Scientific Symposiums International courses the most.

  • I arrived home relaxed and ready to get to work rather than exhausted with a bad case of information overload. The 5-hour format with time to recuperate in the Hawaiian sun is recommended and I will definitely be back!

  • The Scientific Symposiums International courses consistently feature very high quality faculty whose lectures are specifically attuned to the practical needs of the general surgical pathologist.

  • The courses I have participated in all included prominent faculty who can teach “the rules” because often times they wrote “the rules”.

  • The organizers do a great job making sure the experience is hassle-free and also make sure that the emphasis is on practical pathology.
