Society of 67 Scholars Award for Pathology Residents and Medical Students

Purpose

The Society of '67 Kinney Scholars Program was named in 2021 to honor Dr. Thomas D. Kinney. Dr. Kinney was especially committed to education and training, one of the founders of APC, and a legendary pathologist and mentor to many.

The Society of ’67 Thomas D. Kinney Scholars Program provides an opportunity for medical students and/or pathology residents to familiarize themselves with career opportunities in pathology and the critical role of pathology in healthcare delivery, research, and education. Kinney Scholars in the program participate in the APC 2024 Annual Meeting at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC, where they will gain insight from national leaders in academic pathology. The application period opens in January and closes in early March annually.

The 2024 Society of '67 Kinney Scholars Application Period is Closed! The 2025 application cycle will open in January 2025. 

The 2024 Society of '67 Kinney Scholars will:

  • receive an immersive experience in the development of innovative approaches to medical education and academic pathology practice; 
  • learn about advocacy and outreach efforts for pathology and laboratory medicine stakeholders; and
  • interact with the leaders of academic pathology, bringing a trainee’s perspective to the Association.

Requirements of Scholars:

  • attend the APC 2024 Annual Meeting sessions;
  • participate in designated Kinney Scholar activities, starting on Sunday, July 21, 2024;
  • attend the Awards Lunch Program on Wednesday, July 24, 2024;
