The following information is documentation in support of the planning process used for the CAP Companion Meeting at th 2010 USCAP Meeting, as mandated by the Accreditation Council on continuing Medical Education.

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 target audience, and expert opinion in selecting the topic for the 2010 CAP Companion Society education program. The topic was selected as a complement to the 2009 CAP symposium and is intended to provide attendees with practical solutions to address quality assurance and error reduction in several aspects of anatomic pathology that continue to be problematic for practicing pathologists.
