Breast Cancer Virtual Education Series

In collaboration with expert pathologists and genetics counsellors, the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP), AstraZeneca, & MSD have developed educational modules on the importance and methodology behind BRCA testing in early and advanced breast cancer. This Virtual Education Series consists of modules designed to provide training on the theoretical, technical, and practical aspects of diagnostic testing in breast cancer. Modules can be completed in any order.
