College of American Pathologists (CAP) Proficiency Testing Program
Accreditation self-declared (ANAB)
US pathology professional organisation that runs proficiency testing / external quality assessment Surveys and anatomic pathology education programmes covering clinical chemistry, haematology, microbiology, immunology, transfusion medicine, histocompatibility, genetics and molecular pathology, and anatomic pathology. Laboratories outside the US and Canada can enrol through a separate international ordering process.
