Introduction
The CAP Institute for the Advancement of the Pathology Specialty, known simply as “The CAP Institute,” offers highly targeted and specialized education and services to empower pathologists with the knowledge, experience and tools to transform.
The CAP Institute is not a separate building or subsection of the CAP, but is rather a strategic grouping of CAP developed Certificate Programs, Self-Assessment Modules (CAP SAMs), and other services to help pathologists succeed today and in the future as we transform the specialty.
