ASIP Companion Meeting at USCAP

NEW THIS YEAR!
For the first time this year the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP), the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP), and the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) will hold a jointly programmed Companion Meeting at the USCAP Annual Meeting. We hope you will join us at the USCAP Annual Meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada!
