New 2022 Surveys and Anatomic Pathology Education Programs

See What’s New for 2022

Your laboratory’s commitment to excellence and ability to keep pace with new technologies, rapidly changing testing requirements, and emerging diseases have been nothing short of inspiring. The CAP supports your continued mission to deliver accurate and reliable test results to the patients you serve with a comprehensive range of proficiency testing/external quality assessment (PT/EQA) programs.

Highlights

  • Ensure your laboratory’s accuracy for SARS-CoV-2 testing with our comprehensive PT/EQA and Quality Cross Check programs.
  • Continue your quality journey with next-generation sequencing programs for tumor mutational burden (TMB), bioinformatics for hematologic malignancies (NGSB3), and trio analysis for undiagnosed disorders (NGSET).
  • Ensure your entire staff's technical competency for Gram stains (QPD10/QPD25) and peripheral blood smears (QPC10/QPC25).
  • Offer your staff more than 100 CE credits with CAP PT/EQA.
