Welcome to the Fellowship-in-Service-Examination brought to you by the Molecular Genetic Pathology (MGP) Program Directors and the Association for Molecular Pathology.

These exam questions were written by MGP faculty from many MGP-Fellowship institutions and cover the range of topics listed below. For each examination, a total of 45 questions populated from a question bank of approximately 200 questions will be randomly generated. At the end of the examination, you will receive your results along with the correct responses, an explanation of the correct choice, and references for further information. You will only receive this information for each question answered, so you are encouraged to answer all questions, regardless of whether or not you know the correct answer.

You are welcome to take the exam as many times as you like, but please note that participants will be charged a small administrative fee ($25 for AMP members, $50 for non-members) each time they take the exam.

Good luck!

A Collaborative Educational Event Presented by AMP, PASCV and APHL

Description:

Laboratory diagnostics of HIV continue to evolve with antigen/antibody and molecular methods becoming increasingly more sensitive, specific, and rapid. Moreover, laboratory implementation of the CDC/APHL testing algorithm incorporating these assays may result in improved diagnosis of acute HIV but may also be challenging to interpret. The overall goal of this webinar is to discuss diagnostic methods for HIV and the current testing algorithm through the presentation of actual clinical cases. The webinar will conclude with a brief discussion of emerging or novel diagnostic methods and their impact on HIV diagnosis.

Speakers: Cecilia Perret MD & Benjamin Pinsky MD, PhD

Description:

HIV-1 exists within individuals as a complex mixture of variants often referred to as a quasispecies. During the past 10 years, there have been many studies of the distribution and clinical significance of "low-abundance" or "minority" drug-resistance variants present in plasma in proportions below 20% to 30% -- the limit of detection of standard genotypic resistance testing using dideoxy-terminator "Sanger" sequencing. HIV-1 "deep" sequencing using NGS technologies have been widely used in research settings to study the clinical significance of low-abundance drug resistance mutations. In addition, NGS is commercially available for several niche clinical applications such as determining HIV-1 tropism before using a CCR5 inhibitor.

In this webinar, Dr. Shafer will review the scenarios in which low-abundance HIV-1 drug-resistance mutations are most clinically relevant, the most influential studies of NGS for HIV-1 drug resistance testing, and the practical aspects of NGS that have so far slowed its widespread adoption for most routine HIV-1 genotypic resistance testing.

This content is now FREE for all but, continuing education credit is not available.

A Collaborative Educational Event Presented by AMP, PASCV and APHL

Zika in Latin America: Clinical Aspects by Dr. Cecilia Perret

Dr. Perret reviews the epidemiology of the Zika outbreak in Latin America, some clinical aspects, evidence of a Zika infection, and its complications (congenital disease and Guillain Barre Syndrome). In addition, she will discuss the local response to a series of travelers infected with Zika, including a pregnant woman and a sexually transmitted infection.

Zika Virus Diagnostics by Dr. Benjamin Pinsky

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an Aedes mosquito-borne flavivirus that emerged in Brazil in 2015 and then rapidly spread throughout the tropical and subtropical Americas. Based on clinical criteria alone, ZIKV cannot be reliably distinguished from infections with other pathogens that cause an undifferentiated systemic febrile illness, including infections with two common arboviruses, dengue virus and chikungunya virus. This presentation details the methods that are available to diagnose ZIKV infection.
