Presented by the AMP Training & Education Committee, GetAMPed! is an interactive course designed to bring attendees up to speed in molecular pathology. It will be held Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025, at the Omni Seaport Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts.
Log in using your AMP credentials and go to "EVENTS" at the top of the page. You can purchase this course as an add-on to your 2025 AMP Annual Meeting & Expo registration or purchase only the course if you will not be attending the annual meeting.
This website will be updated as more information becomes available. Please be sure to check back for all the latest information.
Join us for a hands-on course designed to bring you up to speed in technologies used in molecular pathology. The course will focus on methylation testing, variant interpretation, and MRD testing by ddPCR. Molecular case studies in topics including infectious disease, genetics, solid tumor and hematopathology will highlight the utility of these assays and skills.
