The Curriculum Committee of the College of American Pathologists considers the list of past offerings, the current and evolving state of anatomic pathology, the needs of the USCAP audience, and expert opinion in selecting the topic for the 2011 CAP Companion Society education program. Whole slide imaging (WSI) has the potential for dramatically transforming the future practice of pathology as much or more so as molecular diagnostics. WSI is widely used today in undergraduate education settings, CME presentations, tumor conferences and pathology board certification examinations. However, depending on FDA action, the technology has applicability in pathology frozen sections, routine diagnosis and consultation services in the next 5 years. The topic is intended to educate Pathologists of the need to prepare for the future in understanding current regulations, how the technology is currently used and its potential application and the efficiencies and costs associated with it.
