The Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Kuwait University, is launching an online interactive microscopy program for practicing pathologists or pathologists-in-training in the MENA region countries. The program is endorsed by the Arab Division of the International Academy of Pathology (IAP-AD). This CME program is officially registered for CME certification with the Center for Continuing Education and Professional Development (CEPD) office of Kuwait Institute for Medical Specializations (KIMS) under the registration number: 004914 / HPC3 / Sep23.
