Cytopathology in focus: ABPath CertLink pilot open to all

Create PDF

While some subspecialty practice areas are still being populated with additional items, limiting the percentage that can be chosen, sufficient cytopathology questions are available. ABPath is crowdsourcing for items from pathologists; we encourage pathologists to be active in submitting questions. Interested pathologists should contact the board’s ABPath CertLink coordinator at pathcertlink@abpath.org.

A soft launch of ABPath CertLink with limited numbers of volunteers took place from October 2017 through January 2018. Volunteers answered 10 questions per month. Feedback from those who participated was positive and was used to shape the next iteration of the platform for the hard launch.

To help ABPath fulfill its mission to serve the public and advance the profession of pathology by promoting lifelong competency of pathologists, please consider enrolling in the ABPath CertLink for the remainder of the pilot program. To register or for more information, visit www.abpath.org.
