In association with IMA, Pune chapter.
From The Heart

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

Warm greetings and best wishes for the New Year!

It gives us great pleasure to invite you to the A.G PATH CME 2026, scheduled for Sunday, 1st March 2026, at the Sheraton Grand Pune Bund Garden Hotel.

It is a privilege for A.G Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd. to host this academic gathering, which will focus on a diverse range of topics in Histopathology, with special emphasis on Breast Pathology, Uro Pathology and Nephro Pathology. The program will highlight advanced laboratory techniques, real-world case studies, and the critical integration of clinical findings with histopathological data—an essential foundation for effective patient care.

The CME will emphasize the role of clinical laboratory in diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring these conditions.

The scientific sessions will be enriched by orations from two distinguished stalwarts:

  • Dr. C. B. Koppiker, an eminent leader in oncology and breast health, whose pioneering contributions in clinical practice, research, and patient-centered care have set benchmarks of excellence.
  • Dr. Sanjay B. Kulkarni, a globally renowned urologist, recognized for his groundbreaking work in reconstructive urology, particularly urethral stricture disease, and Director of the Kulkarni Endosurgery Institute (Urokul Hospital), Pune.

In addition, Dr. Swarnalata Gowrishankar and Dr. Lovelesh Nigam will deliver sessions that further broaden the academic scope with their expertise and insights. We have a case-based slide seminar and a panel discussion which will include clinicopathological corelation.

We look forward to active participation from you all and to a truly fruitful sharing.

Pune is an educational hub, cultural icon with pleasant weather & our team is ready to welcome you with warmth and enthusiasm.

Yours Sincerely,
Organizing Committee.
