APC MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL SEASON IS HERE
The APC membership renewal season is still underway! All current member departments and individual membership holders were sent an email with instructions on how to process your membership renewal for 2023. Please direct any inquiries to [email protected].
Why Renew?
In addition to APC supporting the missions of education, practice, and research through educational programming, and other activities of our committees, sections, and working groups, your membership dues help APC represent the needs and perspective of academic pathology in our engagement with other organizations, including AAMC’s Government Relations Representatives group and the Intersociety Pathology Council. APC contributes to pathology workforce development through programs of our philanthropic arm – the Society of ’67 – and through Charter Membership in the Intersociety Council for Pathology Information. Importantly, APC maintains membership in AAMC’s Council of Faculty and Academic Societies, the Council of Medical Specialty Societies’ Organization of Program Director Associations, and is a Cooperating Society of the American Board of Pathology.
Most importantly, APC provides a network for current and past chairs, program directors, administrators, educators, and coordinators to learn and grow from each other, and to foster the development of the next generation of diverse leaders through programs like the APC Pathology Leadership Fellows program and the Pathology Leadership Academy.
In 2014, APC launched its flagship open access journal, Academic Pathology as a platform to communicate best practices and novel approaches in medical education and academic department administration that improve training, and impact innovation and patient care. Academic Pathology also publishes the Pathology Competencies for Medical Education and associated Educational Cases.
In 2017, APC celebrated 50 years of service with the creation of the Society of ’67 as a vehicle for supporters to contribute to the legacy and vision of academic pathology through programs like the Kinney Scholars, Healthcare Innovation Grants, and Open Access Publication Awards.
In 2022, APC formed a partnership with the founders of PathElective, web-based content developed as a virtual learning experience for students during the pandemic, to become an official APC publication and to secure its future as a free global resource in pathology education.
Updates on all of APC’s activities are provided in our annual report, Paths to Progress, and in our monthly e-News.

WHAT'S NEW IN ACADEMIC PATHOLOGY
In January 2022, Academic Pathology joined the world-class collection of journals and pathology resources published by Elsevier! In this new publishing alliance, your Academic Pathology articles now have increased visibility to a global audience of academic leaders through Science Direct and Clinical Key, while keeping the same Open Access benefits, editors, and staff you value.
Academic Pathology will reach a major milestone in June 2023, when it will receive its first journal impact factor – one more reason to submit your manuscript to APC’s official journal!
Recently Published Articles
Learning mechanisms and outcomes of an interprofessional molecular pathology workshop for residents, M. Meeuwsen, et al. Research Article First Published October 19, 2022: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acpath.2022.100056
This article and more can be found at the journal website!
Educational Cases
Academic Pathology now has over 150 Educational Cases published in association with the Pathology Competencies for Medical Education (PCME), which are organized as collections in three competency areas – disease mechanisms and processes, organ system pathology, and diagnostic medicine and therapeutic pathology. The PCME were created by pathology chairs and course directors to serve as a national standard identifying the core content for teaching pathology in these basic competencies. Each competency includes learning goals and objectives to assess the acquisition, integration and application of knowledge to demonstrate the development of competency. Click here to learn more about how to prepare an Educational Case and see an index of cases that are ready to use in medical education.
Society of ’67 Open Access Award Program
The Society of ’67 Open Access Award Program seeks to promote the publication of high-quality original scholarship in a peer-reviewed journal by authors at an early stage of academic development. Award recipients will have the article processing fee paid for by the Society of ’67. The first or corresponding author (qualifying author) must be a medical student, pathology resident or fellow, or junior faculty.
Submit an application to determine if you qualify for the Society of '67 Open Access Award. Find more program information and application instructions at: www.apcprods.org/societyof67-award-oa. Donate to the Society of ’67 to support this and other programs.
