What can you expect from the CAP Pathology Case Challenges?
Explore past cases from the CAP Performance Improvement Program in Surgical Pathology. Each case includes a virtual microscope whole slide image (WSI) of a surgical specimen for in-depth review.
For every case, you’ll find the specimen source, clinical history, laboratory findings, and a representative whole slide image of the surgical specimen. After reviewing each case, you’ll receive a case summary along with three multiple-choice questions to reinforce key learning points.
