Clinical Informatics Certification

The American Board of Pathology is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for subspecialty certification in Clinical Informatics. The link to the application is posted on our website home page at www.abpath.org. The first examination will be given October 7-18, 2013 at Pearson-VUE test centers across the US. Because this is a new ABMS/Am Board of Pathology subspecialty, there is a five year period of qualification by practice/experience. It is anticipated that in 2018 and thereafter, pathologists will only qualify for certification if they complete an ACGME accredited fellowship program in clinical informatics.

Letter to Pathology Department Chairs from API Council

The letter below was sent to Pathology Department Chairs at institutions across the US and Canada highlighting fellows from Pathology programs that are API Teaching Institutional members and urging Pathology Chairs to consider developing Informatics Programs within their Departments.  The letter was sent by API on behalf of Dr. Raymond Aller, Dr. John Gilbertson, Dr. Liron Pantanowitz, Dr. Ul Balis, and Dr. Mark Tuthill.
