Pathologists can keep abreast of current scientific knowledge with interactive, case-based learning to address both common and esoteric issues faced in the laboratory.

CPIP supports pathologists who do principally clinical pathology as well as those who do primarily anatomic pathology but cover clinical pathology. A diverse portfolio of real-life case scenarios, including images and clinical background, help pathologists to stay current on issues and advances in the laboratory.

CPIP is designed for pathologists, by pathologists. Each case is developed and peer-reviewed, ensuring learnings are practical and easily applied to work. Thought-provoking questions with feedback and multiple choice knowledge checks assess and confirm diagnostic skills. Participants may apply 1.25 CME credits for each CPIP toward the ABPath’s Continuing Certification (CC) requirements.
