Amirsys, CAP align for pathology education

Amirsys and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) have formed a new partnership to jointly develop online educational products for pathologists.

This joint effort will combine CAP’s content for learning in pathology with Amirsys’ pathology content and technology using the Amirsys platform. The first outcome of this collective effort will be a pathology learning portal. The portal will enable pathologists to assess their knowledge and skills against a set of defined competencies structured in a pathologist competence model, complete a self-assessment and develop an individual learning plan.
