Supporting Societies
The College of American Pathologists wishes to thank the following organizations for sponsoring CAP ’12 education courses:
Arthur Purdy Stout Society
The Arthur Purdy Stout Society has over 400 members from different parts of the United States and throughout the world. But no matter where the members reside, by joining this society, they have publicly acknowledged their desire to carry on in that same spirit of academic excellence in surgical pathology that the founders of the society wished to honor in Dr. Stout.

Association for Molecular Pathology
The Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) was founded in 1995 to provide structure and leadership to the then-emerging field of molecular diagnostics. AMP pursues topics of importance to those at the forefront of this growing discipline and endeavors to develop mechanisms for education and certification in diagnostic molecular pathology. AMP has assumed national visibility with its efforts to shape regulations and policy that influence research and the practice of molecular diagnostics. The organization is divided into the scientific subdivisions of genetics, infectious diseases, hematopathology, and solid tumors.
