IMVS Pathology Newsletter

The IMVS Pathology Newsletter is published twice a year, with the aim of providing health care professionals with relevant, practical, service and clinical information to assist their daily practice.

We are also interested in your ideas, particularly informative case studies. They need not be the rarest cases, but should have educative value with a link to diagnostic pathology.  Email your ideas to: imvs.newsletter@health.sa.gov.au
