The first IAC virtual Tutorial was a wonderful experience. Excellent organisation, first-class faculty and enthusiastic interactive registrants. All registrants had the opportunity to put their questions to the faculty during the lectures. Questions were collected and in some cases translated to be answered by the experts at the final session of each day.
Presentations should be available for viewing within the next few weeks. IAC members will receive an email informing them of access details once all formalities have been completed.
Requests have been made of photos of the meeting to be shared on social media. #AMCP2020, #CitologiaMX, #IACtutorial, #IACvirtualtutorial, #IACMX

Topics covered included (1) Gynecologic cytopathology- HPV tests and their role in cervical cancer, screening and management guidelines for cervical cancer prevention, gynecologic cyto-histo correlation and gynecologic case presentations (2) Non-gynecologic cytology- serous fluids, urinary cytology and fine needle aspiration cytology of thyroid, pancreas, salivary gland, lung and breast including current reporting systems and case studies.
At the end of each day, there will be a question and answer session with a panel of all speakers from that day.
