Dr. Clinton Campbell
Dr. Clinton Campbell is a hematopathologist at Hamilton Health Sciences and Assistant Professor of Medicine at McMaster University in Ontario Canada. He has held numerous peer-reviewed grant in artificial intelligence applied to pathology. Dr. Campbell’s research focuses on using machine learning to 1) automate workflows in diagnostic medicine; 2) develop new representations of the information in pathology and 3) link this information with other large healthcare datasets to redefine paradigms in health and disease. Dr. Campbell’s research program is conducted in collaboration with Dr. Hamid Tizhoosh and KIMIA Lab at the Mayo Clinic.
Description
Applied Machine Learning in Pathology presented by Dr. Clinton Campbell
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Support and automate digital pathology workflows.
- Make new representations of information to improve diagnostics.
- Enable multimodal patient representations by linking information between healthcare datasets.
Knowledge Transmission: An Important Dimension In Pathology Practice presented by Dr. George Youse
The pathology report serves as a crucial communication tool among a number of stakeholders. A transmission barrier exists between pathologists, other clinicians, and patients when interpreting the pathology report. Lack of proper communication is multifaceted and can lead to delays in suboptimal patient care. Causes of report misinterpretation include the use of pathology jargon, using different versions of staging or grading systems, and using expressions indicative of uncertainty in the pathologist’s report and pathology misnomers. Direct communication between pathologists and patients is recently suggested with promising success in proof of principle studies.
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Identify reasons for miscommunication of the pathology report.
- Describe the challenges that lead to misunderstanding of the pathology report.
- Consider solutions to improve communication between pathologists, other clinicians and patients.
