In May 2013, the Association for Academic Pathology (AAPath), in cooperation with the Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology (ADASP), created the Fellowship Directors Committee (FDC) for the purpose of further exploring issues in common and serving as a vehicle for communication between programs and the AAPath, as well as other pathology organizations. The FDC is Chaired by Paul Staats. Committee members, representing each subspecialty area, were selected through coordination with relevant specialty societies. Please contact your FDC representative to get involved with your specialty society. The current committee members are listed above.
The Fellowship Directors Committee first met face-to-face on July 11, 2013, at the APC Annual Meeting. The committee has quarterly conference calls, interim listserv communication, and meets face-to-face again at the AAPath Annual Meetings. For more information, please contact the AAPath office by email or call 302-660-4940.

Fellowship Application Resources
The Association for Academic Pathology (AAPath) strongly endorses the national movement to a uniform timeline for fellowship recruitment as described in the recent article by Herrmann et al in Academic Pathology. In an announcement by AAPath, several key points were made on the importance and responsibility of AAPath membership in supporting a uniform recruitment process to protect pathology residents. All questions and concerns regarding the uniform timeline can be emailed to: FellowshipInquiries@academicpathology.org.
