Welcome to the Association of Pathology Chairs!

About APC

The Association of Pathology Chairs (APC) is a non-profit society which serves as the voice of academic departments of Pathology in the U.S. and Canada. APC exists to provide leadership and advocacy for the dynamic discipline of Pathology, and to enable academic departments to meet the demands of their three missions: medical education, research, and practice.

The APC provides education, training, information resources, and networking opportunities for members of the five APC membership sections. Those sections are:

  • APC - Departmental Chairs, Vice Chairs, and Senior Fellows
  • PRODS - Residency Program Directors and Associate Residency Program Directors
  • UMEDS - Directors of Undergraduate Medical Education (medical school)
  • PDAS - Department Administrators or Business Managers
