United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) - 2015 Annual Meeting

The United States & Canadian Academy of Pathology's (USCAP) mission is to provide pathologists with high quality continuing medical education (CME) at the investigative and applied practice level and to reinforce and update attendees' knowledge of pathology in their area(s) of interest and need in the understanding of pathologic processes.

This mission is accomplished by a broad CME program, which includes various topics and forums of particular intellectual and professional interest where participants can engage in presentation, discussion, and critical evaluation of the application of scientific, technological, and methodological advances to matters related to human health and disease. Specifically these include lectures, seminars, symposia, courses with extemporaneous discussion and critical evaluation, question and answer sessions, and the distribution of instructional materials for the purpose of meeting identifiable educational needs. The program is planned to meet the needs of pathologists of various levels of experience from residents and fellows to the well-established and expert investigator and practitioner. The effectiveness in meeting registrant needs is assessed by their satisfaction as evidenced by comparative and annual attendance monitoring and by registrant evaluations as to the improvement of their knowledge and skills relevant to their pathology practice.
