Meyer Jr., PhD, HCLD, of Eastern Virginia Medical School, and Laura L. Nelsen, MD, pathologist and director of cytology at MaineGeneral Medical Center and past chair of and now advisor to the committee.CAP TODAY asked Dr. Nelsen about the benchtop reference guide, sample pages of which appear below.
