title: [Role of the clinician in cytologic diagnosis].
abstract: In the course of continuing education for physicians on nongynaecological cytology, together with the topics about development and actual situation in clinical cytology, especially in Croatia, as well as those about the technical procedures in cytology, the clinicians' participation in the interpretation of cytological diagnosis was discussed. The term "clinicians" is used here for those physicians who need a rapid, accurate and nonaggressive morphological diagnostic method for the treatment of their patients. The central part of the course was a round-table discussion about the role of clinicians in making cytological diagnosis, with participation of cytologists and clinicians from various branches of medicine, who are either cytologists, or have a good contact with cytologists. They answered questions about the clinicians' information on cytology, about the contact and collaboration between cytologists and clinicians, and about their own experience in everyday cytological practice. The aim of this discussion was to provide sufficient information to clinicians on cytological diagnostics, and the emphasis on team-work was made.
