HER2 Breast Cancer Microlearning Series

4/6/2023

 
Challenges in Testing Across the HER2+ Breast Cancer Spectrum

This CME/CMLE-accredited, case-based microlearning activity from ASCP is designed to help pathologists and laboratory professionals increase their knowledge, skills, and competence in testing and diagnosing breast cancer across the HER2 spectrum.

Every few days, participants will be emailed or sent several questions through the Qstream app. Each question consists of an authentic patient case/scenario and an assessment question with 3-5 multiple-choice answers designed to help you make an appropriate diagnosis/recommendation.

Visit ASCP’s Qstream site at ascp.qstream.com/
Sign up for a Qstream account.
Enroll in the case-based microlearning series "Challenges in Testing Across the HER2+ Breast Cancer Spectrum."
