Each lecture is customized and recorded on video by international experts who volunteer their time and knowledge. Certificates of achievement are awarded to participants who complete courses and all assignments. Courses can be taken and completed when convenient for each participant.

Many public cancer hospitals struggle with limited pathology capacity—an obstacle that directly impacts timely, accurate diagnoses. To address this, BVGH worked with the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) to create 2025 AAI Techniques de pathologie, a French-language training for our AAI partner hospitals.

BVGH arranged the syllabus, coordinated and confirmed trainers, and moderated the 12-session course, which included lessons on tissue processing, immunohistochemistry, biomarkers of common cancers, effective reporting, and more.

This course is available now on BVGH Learn: https://bvghlearn.org/courses/bvgh-2025-aai-ascp-techniques-de-pathologie/

Cytology and pathology are essential to the diagnosis of cancer – yet too often, African pathologists lack the resources to access complex and unique case studies that build knowledge.

With experts from the American Society of Cytopathology (ASC), BVGH developed the 2025 AAI & ASC Cytology Series, a compilation of case discussions hand-selected and led by cytology experts. Nearly 600 pathologists from 84 countries attended the lectures, taught by cytology leaders from Cleveland Clinic, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Hofstra University, and Loyola University Chicago.
