CAP SAMCAP SAMs (Self-Assessment Modules)

Consistent with the high quality you expect from the College, CAP SAMs are more comprehensive than simple “memory tests.” CAP SAM topics are identified as critical areas of importance to pathologists, and they include a strong focus on both the interpretation of concepts and their direct application to patient care.

CAP SAMs include both educational content and a multiple-choice post-test. Immediate feedback is provided after each question, providing additional educational material on both correct and incorrect responses. Participants who earn a passing score may apply their earned credit(s) to the American Board of Pathology’s Maintenance of Certification SAM requirements.
