Any opinions from residents/practitioners re: pros/cons of USCAP vs. ASCP vs. CAP? Belong to all three? Which ones most favorable toward residents? Any comments appreciated.

Dude, USCAP and CAP are the same thing.

Oh be constructive!

USCAP takes longer to type (con)

CAP takes less time to type (pro)

Like that. 😉

USCAP and CAP are NOT the same organization.

USCAP = United States and Candian Academy of Pathology (www.uscap.org). USCAP costs $25 to join for a resident and you get Modern Pathology

CAP = College of American Pathologists (www.cap.org). CAP is free to join as a resident and you get Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

Frankly I would prefer a Path Knife or a Path Handgun.

Ok, dude, I'll bite-
So why do the two organizations have different websites and the HQ for USCAP is in Augusta and HQ for CAP is in Illinois? Just a way to collect more dues?

Sweet. I've been considering picking up some Path Sai or a Path Trident (assuming I can get a good deal).

Oooo...the killer sai! Good choice.

Cartman: I got the killer sai. Take that hippie! Die you hippie!

Oh, well, never mind.

Because they are different organizations. See my previous post

USCAP is also the North American arm of the IAP (International Academy of Pathology). In the past, IAP and USCAP were used interchangeably.
