This is a new initiative of the Foundation, and it will be repeated annually, bringing some of the best pathologists of the world to Latin America. November is also full of great training opportunities, including the full-day DTF-ACVP Pre-Meeting Workshop in Boston, on Tumors of bone, cartilage and dental tissue, delivered by Drs Keren Dittmer, Rob Foster and Cincy Bell. If you are in Boston, remember also that on Monday night the Foundation will host the traditional Award Ceremony, this year face to face for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic.
