Society of ’67

The APC has established the Society of ’67 to support programs aligned with the Association's mission and vision. The Society's name honors the founding of the APC, which occurred in 1967.

The APC is the voice of academic Pathology. Academic Pathology leads the way in assuring accurate and timely clinical diagnoses, identifying new diagnostic and prognostic tumor markers and molecular tests, making critical discoveries that expand our understanding of and ability to treat disease processes, and enhancing the way in which we educate medical students, residents and the public. The APC envisions excellence in all missions of academic Pathology, supporting continuous improvements in healthcare, medical education and research and advocating for high quality, safe, equitable, affordable and accessible medical care.

A gift to the Society helps us achieve this vision. The Society provides a vehicle for individuals, families and corporate partners to support academic pathology and improve the health of our nation through patient care, research, education and advocacy. We recognize our donors’ generosity and vision at the APC Annual Meeting and in APC publications.

Society of '67 Scholars Travel Award for Medical Students and Residents

The APC Society of '67 Scholars Travel Award provides an opportunity for medical students and/or residents to familiarize themselves with career opportunities in pathology and the critical role of pathology in healthcare delivery, research, and education through access to national leaders in academic pathology attending the 50th Jubilee Anniversary of the APC Annual Meeting in Washington, DC – the city where APC’s first meeting was held in 1967. In 2017, the annual meeting theme focuses on the role of pathology in population health.
