Developing specialized expertise in new and growing areas of pathology and embracing emerging technologies are critically important to CAP members. Currently 20% of CAP members collaborate with other physicians using a patient’s genomic information and another 32% are likely or very likely to do so in the next 3 to 5 years. Today, 46% of Members integrate diagnostic information from a variety of sources and disciplines into a clinically relevant report, but another 35% are likely or very likely to do so in the next 3 to 5 years. Here you will find programs, classes and other resources you can use to improve your skills and expand your knowledge base.

• The New World of Laboratory Medicine

• Genomics
  Genetic Testing for Alzheimer’s Disease Slow to Catch On Review a medical ethics presentation on this topic prepared by Gail Vance, MD, FCAP



• Genetic Medicine, ACO’s and Evidence-based Decision Making are just a few of the Ten innovations that Will Transform Medicine



• Earn the skills you need to transform and succeed. The CAP Institute for the Advancement of the Pathology Specialty (The CAP Institute) offers a range of educational programs, SAMs and free on-demand webinars to help you stay relevant and competitive.



• Take an active role in Electronic Health Record (EHR) planning at your hospital



• Attend a conference or education program devoted to emerging technologies. See a listing of distance and onsite learning opportunities in 2011 related to molecular/whole genome sequencing, whole slide imaging (WSI), in vivo microscopy, personalized health care



• Learn more about genomic medicine and consider how you might develop and apply your skills and clinical knowledge to step into this developing area of clinical need



• Consider a fellowship in an emerging area of care



• Identify additional laboratory skills/capabilities you and your laboratory may need in emerging areas such as personalized and molecular medicine. CAP offers a range of programs and maintains a list of education conferences in the US and abroad on topics of interest to pathologists.



• Get involved in the CAP Module 4 Case for Change research initiative examining the changing economics of pathology practice and service models.
