Dear Colleagues,

Greetings from the Organizing Committee of INTCME 2012.

It gives us immense pleasure to bring to you the XVII Indo-US CME in Surgical Pathology, Cytology, and Hematology - INTCME2012, in collaboration with Indian College of Pathologists (ICP)and Association of Indian Pathologists of North America(AIPNA), which is being held on 3rd, 4th and 5th February 2012, at Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun.

The distinguished experts chosen for INTCME2012, will open newer avenues towards understanding and diagnosis of various disorders, by sharing their expertise, knowledge and personal experiences with us. Also, this year we are integrating the recent advances in Molecular Pathology in to the different systemic disease segments of the CME, instead of an exclusive session.

Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, is a Post-Graduate Medical College and Multispecialty Hospital, situated adjacent to Dehradun Airport, amidst the picturesque Himalayan foothills. We are blessed to be surrounded by such celebrated destinations of knowledge, education and spiritual enrichment as Dehradun, Mussoorie, Haridwar & Rishikesh. The weather in February though is pleasant (10°C-16°C), it can be unpredictable at times; hence we recommend woolen clothes as a safety precaution.

We are striving to present before you one of the best academic feasts of recent times. Your presence and participation will make this event a memorable one.
Looking forward to meet you in INTCME2012

Dr. V. P. Pathak                                                   Dr. Dushyant Singh Gaur
