The Osler Institute recorded its comprehensive August 2026 Live Virtual Cytology Review Course, making the complete program available for convenient online streaming.
The recorded lectures are securely hosted online and may be streamed anywhere you have an internet connection. You can watch or listen using your computer, tablet, or mobile device, allowing you to study at a time and place that works best for you.
The review also includes a downloadable course syllabus corresponding to the video lectures. The syllabus may be used alongside the recorded presentations or independently as a study and clinical reference resource.
This comprehensive review is designed to update your cytopathology knowledge and help prepare you for Cytopathology subspecialty certification and Continuing Certification (CC) examinations. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based practice, board-relevant diagnostic concepts, current standards of care, quality control, and laboratory management.
The course incorporates current diagnostic concepts, testing strategies, and practical approaches intended to strengthen diagnostic and consulting skills. Previous participants have also found the review helpful in identifying areas of weakness that may benefit from additional self-study.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
Describe common types of cytology specimens and appropriate methods for preparing them for evaluation.
Recognize normal cytologic elements and benign reactive processes and distinguish them from abnormal and neoplastic lesions across organ systems.
Apply current consensus terminology and diagnostic criteria for classifying non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions of each organ system.
Explain the importance of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of tissue samples obtained by fine-needle aspiration and its role in reducing repeat procedures, healthcare costs, and patient inconvenience.
Apply increased knowledge of cytopathology in preparation for subspecialty certification and Continuing Certification examinations and in clinical practice.

Guarantee
The Osler āUntil You Passā Guarantee
The Osler Institute is committed to providing high-quality education to our learners. We offer courses that are guaranteed to help them confidently pass their examinations. In the unlikely event that a learner does not pass their examination, we allow them to re-enroll in a course tuition-free* until they succeed. Suppose you have attended an Osler course or subscribed to an online review and failed the examination for which the course was designed within the following nine months. In that case, you can re-enroll in an Osler course or resubscribe to the same term online review until you pass. This offer is tuition-free, but a corresponding failed examination attempt must precede each free course.
Please be aware that the course registration fee does not cover hotel costs, meeting amenities, or any additional mock orals or study materials. If you want to enroll in a course under the guarantee, please make sure that you complete the enrollment process more than 30 days before the course start date. By doing so, you can avoid any late fees that may apply if you enroll after this time frame.
*Some restrictions apply: The course must be equal to or lesser value than the previous course. You may upgrade to a different course at a discounted rate. If the same course isnāt available, we offer a three-month subscription-based course in its place. Additional mock orals or a la carte course options are excluded from our guarantee option.
