New 2023 Surveys and Anatomic Pathology Education Programs

See What's New Before You Renew Your PT/EQA for 2023

As laboratory medicine changes, 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

  • Compare multiple instruments testing for a wide range of respiratory viruses (ID3Q).
  • Elevate your laboratory’s preanalytical processing steps for tissue and slide preparation of cell blocks (HQCLB) and targeted therapy (HQTAR), thus ensuring quality staining.
  • Assess your staff’s technical competency for body fluid review (QPB10).
  • Ensure optimal performance of cardiac evaluation assays with calibration verification and linearity for high-sensitivity Troponin I (LN48).

View all our new programs and decide which ones are right for you.
