The Argentine Division was extremely active during the pandemic and the committee has worked hardly to hold various lectures and other activities in pathology, all of them were
aimed at residents, junior and senior pathologists from all over the country and from neighboring countries (Uruguay, Bolivia, Ecuador, Perú and Paraguay). Virtual modality has
brought us closer and allowed us to share more activities with lower costs. The International Meeting of Surgical Pathology was performed in two sections with a total
