[b]Dear Pathologist Colleague,[/b]
In 2000, at a pathology meeting held in Florence, Juan Rosai and I conceived the idea of holding academic exercises within the framework of a cultural setting, specifically at sites along famous pilgrimage routes, inspired by the lines of the Spanish poet Antonio Machado: “Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andarâ€. Two such meetings have now been held, travelling through northern Spain in 2004 and Portugal and Galicia in 2010. This style has had the advantage of allowing attendees the opportunity to visit places of natural beauty and historic significance as well as fostering social bonds among lecturers and participants.
Faculty and registrants have greatly enjoyed the social and scientific aspects of the meetings buoyed by the mystical feeling of reaching a special final destination point, which on both prior occasions was Santiago de Compostela. Having accomplished this goal with great success, we grew even more ambitious. We thought of holding it again but over a different route.
We regarded that Jerusalem was an ideal choice to be the destination this time. It has been a reference point over the centuries for individuals of all creeds and nationalities, and continues to attract a huge number of visitors. It has been devastated and built over and over again, and it remains the fulcrum of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Our aim is the same as that of the Israeli-Argentinian virtuoso Daniel Barenboim and the famous Palestinian-American writer Edward Said. In our case, it represents a modest but hopeful gesture on the part of a small international professional group towards the dream of the normalization of relations between Arabs and Israelis.

The intent is to provide registrants an experience memorable both from historical perspectives and educational viewpoints mixing a journey through a region of the world of great historical interest with three days set aside along the route for lectures by a distinguished faculty on a number of problematic areas of diagnostic pathology. In addition to the course directors, the additional faculty are John Chan, MD, Jonathan Epstein, MD, Fabio Facchetti, MD, [url="http://www.massgeneral.org/pathology/doctors/doctor.aspx?ID=16731"]Judith A. Ferry, MD[/url], Kristin Henry, MD, Leonard Kahn, MD, Robert Kurman, MD, Jose Antunez Lopes, MD, Elizabeth Montgomery, MD, and Manuel Sobrinho-Simoes.

This program has been designed to provide a comprehensive and practical update of diagnostic pathology.
It is intended to keep conference attendees abreast of the latest scientific advances in the field of pathology needed to comply
with the current standard of practice, with an emphasis on the practical aspects of the specialty. The course is primarily
designed for practicing pathologists, particularly those in community practice. The course should also be of interest for
pathologists-in-training, surgeons, oncologists, and other health-care professionals interested in understanding the principles
underlying the formulation of a histopathologic diagnosis.
A broad range of pathology topics will be covered during the three days of the update course by both OSU pathologists and guest outside speakers. A variety of anatomic and clinical pathology topics will also be presented in informal luncheon roundtable discussions.
Featured outside speakers:
Jason Hornick
Soft Tissue Pathology and Immunohistochemistry
Brigham and Women’s Hospital
Dennis Weisenburger
Hematopathology
University of Nebraska
Laura Lamps
Gastrointestinal Pathology
University of Arkansas
Teri Longacre
Gynecologic Pathology
Stanford Medical Center
