SOCIETY OF '67 PROGRAM DEADLINES
The Society of ’67 Thomas D. Kinney Scholars Program
Starting in 2021, the Society of '67 Scholars Program has been renamed by the Society of '67 Board to honor Dr. Thomas D. Kinney. Dr. Kinney was especially committed to education and training, one of the founders of APC, and a legendary pathologist and mentor to many. The 2021 Kinney Scholars Program provides an opportunity for medical students and/or pathology residents to familiarize themselves with career opportunities in pathology and the critical role of pathology in healthcare delivery, research, and education through access to national leaders in academic pathology attending the APC Annual Meeting. This year will be the fifth consecutive year that the Society of ’67 offers this program. For details on previous years' Scholars, and this year's online application instructions, see www.apcprods.org/m-s67-scholars.
Application Deadline: Monday, March 1, 2021
