CuMo – ein Programm zur Stärkung der molekularen Diagnostik in der Pathologie
摘要
Molecular pathology has become a central component of modern pathological diagnostics. With the increasing importance of therapeutically predictive biomarkers and complex molecular procedures, the technical and organizational demands on diagnostic practice are also growing. Natural scientists play an essential role within interdisciplinary teams, but until now their qualifications have not been systematically reflected in structured, standardized continuing education programs.
Against this background, the Molecular Pathology Curriculum (CuMo) was developed. It is a structured, part-time continuing education program for scientists in molecular pathological diagnostics that builds on the existing skills of the participants and is closely linked to routine diagnostics. The curriculum combines theoretical training components with documented proof of practical experience and a final professional examination.
In addition to individual qualification, the curriculum promotes professional exchange and networking across institutional boundaries. CuMo sees itself as a complementary building block for strengthening molecular pathology diagnostics and ensuring quality-assured expertise within pathology and neuropathology.
