From the President’s Desk

From the President’s Desk: ‘The end of the beginning’

April 2021—“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” I thought of this Winston Churchill quote when I, along with many others, received my first COVID-19 vaccine in December. Unfortunately, this country would go on to experience a second peak. My counterparts in other countries remind me of their third peak. Still, we are well along in the end of the beginning. By the time this column reaches you in mid-April, COVID-19 metrics will have changed, and I believe will be better. This is being written in early March and positive indicators are abundant. Testing availability has increased substantially. In the U.S., reported new daily infections have fallen significantly from their peak in January, while more than 10 percent of the public is now fully vaccinated against the virus.

From the President’s Desk: Lab quality in times of COVID-19

March 2021—I inspected my first lab as a pathology resident in 1988. Robert Baisden, MD, head of clinical pathology at Medical College of Georgia at the time, handed me a checklist one day and said we were going to do a laboratory inspection. Like that of so many pathologists, my introduction to the CAP came through the Laboratory Accreditation Program. The Laboratory Improvement Program, LIP, is an essential component in the CAP’s efforts to ensure laboratory quality.

From the President’s Desk: Important wins but work continues

February 2021—In late December, the U.S. Congress passed a COVID-19 relief bill that included two key items for pathologists—measures that the CAP pushed hard to achieve on our behalf. The document is more than 5,000 pages and addresses a large number of subjects, including thoroughbred horses. Here, I’d like to offer a brief analysis of the elements that affect our profession.

From the President’s Desk: Celebrating 75 years

January 2021—Please join me in a collective sigh of relief: 2020 is finally over. I am glad that awful year is behind us at last and sincerely hope that 2021 will be kinder and gentler to us all. From my perspective, 2021 is already off to a better start because it gives us a reason to celebrate. In 1946, 140 board-certified pathologists gathered in Chicago on Dec. 12 and 13 and formed the College of American Pathologists. This year is our 75th anniversary.
