The USCAP Ambassador Program
The re-imagined Ambassador Program is designed to achieve connectivity with future generations of pathologists. Engagement of pathologists-in-training as members for life in USCAP is critical to their career development and to becoming better pathologists.
Ambassadors function to communicate to pathologists-in-training the value of membership in USCAP, engaging their interest, participation, and loyalty. The educators, committee members/chairs, and governance of USCAP derive from committed pathologists-in-training whose evolving maturity leads to the experience and confidence to assume these active roles.
