Pathology without frontiers
| The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. |
Pathology in Europe is still mainly directed at a national level by the national pathology societies. The main goal of these societies is to guarantee an optimum practice of the specialty, both professionally and economically, in their own country. The interest or involvement in the same aspects of the specialty in other countries was and is very limited, taking the long history of European unification into consideration.
The main international organisation that binds anatomic pathologists in Europe is the European Society of Pathology. This Society is the main organiser of international European congresses that are held biannually (with a smaller intercongress in between). Moreover, it adds also to postgraduate education by its European School of Pathology and by EuroCellPath. The latter organisation addresses mainly the molecular aspects of pathology. Through these activities, the European Society of Pathology contributes to augmentation of knowledge in Europe in its widest geographical sense.
