  Education Programs?

 

Updated January 6, 2009

Be a PAP Slide Donor
The PAP PT and PAP Education Programs accept PAP slide donations from laboratories. The slides are subject to a rigorous review by three cytopathologists. After review, the College pays generously for slides accepted into the program.

Pap testing is important for the health of women, and you are instrumental in providing accurate Pap test results for the patient and clinician. Your donation helps provide slides for peer review, which is an important quality assurance tool for continuing education and indirectly improves the quality of life for women.
