Apparently as a currently employed pathologist, the ASCP doesn't care to know anything else about me, other than my e-mail address. Perhaps it's a scam? I dunno. I performed all of 3 clicks, gave my email address, and was asked to bugger off. Interesting.

yeah I was HIGHLY suspicious of that. I didnt put in any personal info.
 
I could still go through it, but the majority of the questions are very non-MD, such as listing bunches of certifications, etc. to choose from, none of them being MD/DO or AP/CP, until near the end of the survey when there are some somewhat out-of-place options to select "pathologist". It does ask for an email address for some reason, but otherwise just a state/zip code. Appears to be mainly by techs for techs, and mainly about CP labs, which isn't clear until you go through it -- I even stopped to go back and read the requesting email again, assuming I had missed something. Basically, it appears very poorly designed.

I go back and forth between being annoyed and amused by how rarely surveys even from pathology organizations are designed with forensic path as even a peripheral consideration -- which is in fact part of the reason I almost always fill them out, and generally leave annoyed comments when possible. This one hardly even bothers to take MD's into account, much less subspecialists.
