The Abstracts Program at CAP ’07

The Abstracts Program is a competitive program sponsored by the Education and Publications Division of the College of American Pathologists. The program is designed to promote a broad range of research in pathology. It offers pathologists and research scientists the opportunity to submit original research to their peers in a poster presentation format. Submissions to this program are evaluated by editors from the Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine.

In addition, the Abstracts Program provides a unique opportunity for residents to enhance research skills, develop writing proficiency, gain practical experience at presenting their findings, and contribute to the literature and advancement of pathology. CAP junior members are eligible for cash awards for their presentations.

All accepted abstracts have been published in the September edition of the Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine. Printed editions of the abstracts will also be available on-site at CAP ’07.
