Important Updates from the APC:
APC 2022 MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS
The 2022 APC membership renewal season is now underway! All current member departments and individual membership holders were sent a notification on Monday, 9/20/2021, with instructions on how to process your membership renewal. Please direct any inquiries to [email protected].
Why Renew?
In addition to supporting the missions of education, practice, and research through APC’s educational programming, committees, sections, and working groups, your membership dues help APC to strengthen its role in advocating for academic pathology through membership in AAMC’s Government Relations Representatives group and administration of the Intersociety Pathology Council. APC also contributes to pathology workforce development through co-management of the Intersociety Council for Pathology Information (with ASIP) and fundraising for the career development programs of APC's Society of ’67. 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.
APC has a deep interest in diversity and leadership development, and in recent years created a range of programs, including the new APC Pathology Leadership Fellows program, the annual Patricia Thomas Lecture on diversity and leadership topics, and the Pathology Leadership Academy. In 2015, APC launched its flagship open access journal, Academic Pathology that is now published by Elsevier. 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 Society of ’67 Scholars, Healthcare Innovations Grants, and Open Access Publication Awards. Updates on all of APC’s activities are provided in our annual report, Paths to Progress, and in our monthly e-News.

ICPI RESIDENCY DIRECTORY – New Opportunities to Promote Other Training Programs and Events for APC Members
In 2020, APC assumed the duties of co-managing the Intersociety Council for Pathology Information (ICPI). If your department lists a program in the ICPI Residency Directory, the fee for that listing is included as a separate line item in your APC dues invoice.
NEW THIS YEAR
Departments with ICPI Residency Directory listings may add other training programs (except fellowship programs) at NO additional charge, as long as they are based in the same department. Post-sophomore fellowships, MSTP programs, PSTP programs, PhD programs, and med tech, histotech, and cytotech training programs are all now included in the ONE price of a Residency Program listing! Plus, add Residency Program Open Houses to ICPI event listings!
Want to add programs, events, or rejoin the ICPI Residency Directory?
Contact [email protected] or submit program details, event details, or listing updates to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ICPI_Website_Update
Check out the *NEW* ICPI website, which continues to evolve and improve as a resource to students and residents!
