Board Meeting
Update

5/11/09 UPDATE

At its recent meeting, the American Board of Pathology made the following decisions:

  1. The combined certification program in AP/NP will be continued with the following changes:
    • Effective immediately, all candidates will be required to pass the AP examination before they will be allowed to sit for the NP examination.
    • Effective 2010, candidates will pay $1800 for each examination (for a total of $3600).

    This decision was made based on the unique circumstances of the 2-year required fellowship in NP. Combined certification in all other areas has been eliminated, effective with residents who began training in 2009.

  2. Effective immediately, candidates may apply for more than one subspecialty examination per year. If you had a subspecialty application returned for this reason, you may re-submit it for review by the Credentials Committee this year. These applications must be received in the ABP office by May 28, 2009.

  3. The requirements for application to fellowships in Pediatric Pathology have changed. Residents may now apply for a fellowship in Pediatric Pathology after completion of two full years of training in AP/CP or AP.
