Winner of ASTD 2011 Excellence in Practice Citation

The CAP’s BPFT AP³ facilitates the accurate evaluation and interpretation of breast cancer predictive factors to achieve optimal treatment plans and therapeutic outcomes.

A pathway for pathologists with mid- or high-level BPFT experience to keep current and become recognized for the many skills they have acquired through practice, the BPFT AP³ curriculum updates you on the latest in evidence-based BPF procedures, assay selection, quality management; and it improves your ability to more accurately stratify patients.

Earn up to 27.5 CME/SAM credits (includes six online and three faculty-led workshop courses).
