Professor of Pathology Maria Angelica Selim, MD, served as a moderator for the Self-Assessment Course.

This year’s recipients were from Nigeria, Egypt, Tanzania, and Ethiopia.
ISDP aims to foster international collaboration and scientific exchange among its members, sponsor global and regional meetings, and support educational initiatives.
