Building on the lessons of AAPath's Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Program (a mentored micro-incubator for future academic pathology leaders) and AAPath's Pathology Leadership Academies (live one and a half day small group workshops on fundamental leadership topics), the Leadership Development & Diversity Committee launched the AAPath Pathology Leadership Fellows (APLF) program to cultivate leadership potential and opportunities by providing experiences and education that accelerate understanding and competency in the skills required for academic administration. In 2021, the APLF program welcomed its first class of 27 outstanding participants.
