2017 President’s Message
Dear CAPA Members,
It is my great honor and privilege to serve you as the CAPA president for 2017-2018. Since its establishment in 2003, and with continuous and collective efforts from our presidents, officers of all subcommittees, and all active members, CAPA has become a nationally and internationally recognized pathologist organization with over 600 members today.
CAPA consists of a very broad membership in both academic and private practice, in both AP and CP, with experienced and “young” pathologists.
