The 2022 Clinical Hepatopathology Certificate Program(CHC)

Target audience:
Pathologists and hepatologist seeking training in the principles and practice of
hepatopathology from all around the world are encouraged to apply. However,
applicants from India, as well as low- and middle-income countries in all parts of the
world, are given priority.
Program Objectives:
1)Identify the key principles in the liver biopsy processing for LM and special stains.
Review the different histopathologic techniques and their purpose.
2) Recognize different patterns of liver injury observed on a liver biopsy, with respect to
clinical presentation and impact on clinical management.
3) Use newly gained knowledge of specific liver syndromes or diseases (e.g., acute liver
injury, autoimmune disease, cholestatic disease, metabolic disease, steatotic
disease,transplant hepatology) to infer pathophysiologic mechanisms and apply this
to the management of patients.
5)Use updated knowledge of liver pathology for better patient management.
Program Structure:
The CHC program includes over 50 recorded online lectures (3-4/ month) and 12 live
webinars (one each month) made available over a one-year period.
The course attendees are required to attend >80% of the live webinars and obtain a
“pass” (a score of 70%) in a mid-year and a final exam in order to receive the
certificate.
