CAP Accreditation

Celebrating 50 years of collaboration, commitment, and quality

Today, the principles of laboratory accreditation compose our professional culture: Work together. Share knowledge. Learn from our peers. Test each other. Collaborate to maintain quality and compliance. Improve practices and processes. Support the delivery of the finest possible health care.

It wasn’t always this way; laboratory accreditation wasn’t always at the foundation of our industry. It emerged as an idea, took root in practice, grew through mutual experience, and matured into the permanent yet ever-evolving influence it is today.

Our dynamic achievement took people—committed, inquisitive, meticulous people like you and all the hardworking pathologists and laboratory professionals who came before you. Thank you for advancing a tradition of excellence that began at the CAP 50 years ago with the inception of laboratory accreditation.
