Resident and New-in-Practice Pathologists:
Accelerate Your Career
This is it—your chance to gain insight and skills that will improve your on-the-job performance every day. There is simply no better opportunity to experience and learn so much in just a few days.
Hear first-hand how you can become a leader in Pathology.
Through the CAP Annual Meeting, I met people who helped build my career. They introduced me to the right people and recommended me for various committees. Now I’m able to give the same support to people who are new to the profession. It’s a great feeling.
