Thank you CAP for creating such a great website.

Well, at least they do something.

But if I was a mid-20-something medical student considering my future career options, at best this would make me think "troll" and move on. 🙄

Umm, what? What was that?! Lava lamps?!

 

[Pathologee]

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is groovy. #amiright

I wish CAP would work on fixing their real website. That site stinks.


Peace, Love, Pathology Man

The CAP probably spent thousands for some advertising/PR firm to come up with that.

 

[KCShaw]

Man, I forgot about that link. Maybe I was trying to repress it.

Very stoked to have the pathology profession associated with symbols of lazy hippies out of touch with reality. Oh, wait.......

 

[WEBB PINKERTON]

CAP is trying to get everyone ready for ACO's. They will be like hippie communes. Everybody working for a common interest. No bureaucracy. It's gonna be far out man.

Congratulations to the CAP for creating the nerdiest website ever. I wonder how long they spent designing this monstrosity.

 

[LADoc00]

this has hit new lows. Like they are opening a thrift shop and we are the used clothes.

they need to just stop.

 

[Tissue issue]

Umm- so only stoners need apply?

That site is old. It has been around for about 5 years if memory serves me correctly. I agree it should be changed or removed.

All you folks bitching about cap could, you know, get involved with cap. I'm sure they would welcome your input, time, and effort.. Bitching on this forum about them over and over and over doesn't do anything.

I agree, that website sucks. Just using this thread to make a general observation. If you have issues with them, make sure that you and like minded people are represented. Otherwise, it's like bitching about politics when you didn't vote but could have.

Lame

 

[Adrian Cocot]

Man, I hope the CAP didn't blow the budget on that website. Because if they did, UF's path department schooled 'em big time.

Looks like we can get PATHOLOGISTS ARE GROOVY buttons, posters and lava lamps!

"Our estimable CAP staff invented the “Pathologists are Groovy” campaign to interest medical students in pathology. The AMA hosts an annual career fair for medical students at which every participating specialty has a table. “Pathologists are Groovy” (www.cap.org/residents) was created to draw medical students to our booth, where they might be persuaded to sign up for the CAP Medical Student Forum. “Pathologists are Groovy” caught on fast and grew to include posters, buttons, and lava lamps. I wear my button everywhere (I suppose even presidents can be groovy). And, astonishingly, strangers everywhere comment on the button. “There goes the groovy pathologist,” they say."

That would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Your leadership is impotent. Lol!

 

[WEBB PINKERTON]

It shows that the ad campaign and website are new and not 5 years old as some thought.

I like the 70s better than the 60s. I would have rather seen CAP do some more Disco than Hippie. That movie Boogie Nights is one of my favorites despite its adult content. I listen to the soundtrack a lot on the way to work. Driver's Seat may be the best song ever made. 👍

"There goes the groovy pathologist"---what unadulterated bulls***. 16 more work days in this asylum.
And I predict, as regards the MOC stuff, that payors ( and/or hospitals ) will require EVERYONE to do recert in the near future, not just MOC participation.

 

[KluverB]

And yet, you seem to be looking to jump ship from whatever it is you're doing currently to come to our dark side. So, why bother?

 

[KLPM]

Are radiologists groovy too?
