Association for Pathology Informatics -  PRESS RELEASEJuly 12, 2011  Pathology Informatics is a rapidly evolving subspecialty of pathology. Core competencies of pathology informatics should be addressed in all pathology programs. The Association for Pathology Informatics (API) has taken the lead in addressing curriculum needs through the creation of its membership-based teaching program. This collaborative is managed by world-class experts in pathology informatics training and practice. Its goal is to provide residency programs with essential tools for high-quality pathology informatics training.  Ronald S. Weinstein, M.D., FCAP, President of API, is pleased to announce that twelve teaching programs have joined API as the first Teaching Institutional members of the Association. These teaching programs have made a significant commitment to advancing the training of medical residents and fellows interested in the emerging discipline of pathology informatics.
