Celebrating Awardees, Foundation’s Impact at CAP23

As the lazy days of summer come to a close, the CAP Foundation has been busier than ever as we are on track to provide the highest number of awards and grants in a single year for 2023. As part of the Foundation’s global initiatives, 60 Global Pathology Education Awards will be honored in addition to our 50 other grants and awards.

These awards for medical students, residents, and pathologists will bolster leadership, provide individual education, improve laboratory quality, create research opportunities, and support health equity. They will not only impact individual awardees and their careers, but also help ensure a strong, diverse, and reliable future for the specialty.

Not only does the CAP Foundation work to support pathologists and the future of the specialty, but we also make a direct impact on patients. There have been seven See, Test & Treat programs so far this year, with another five scheduled.

The CAP Foundation is extremely proud of this program and we’re thankful to the hundreds of volunteers and supporters who make it possible.

While there are over a dozen pathologists who lead See, Test & Treat programs every year, and an innumerable amount who work every day for the betterment of patient care, we’re very excited to honor one pathologist who has gone above and beyond to make a lasting impact on the See, Test & Treat program. We’re happy to honor Varsha Manucha, MD, FCAP, with this year’s Gene and Jean Herbek Humanitarian Award and welcome you to celebrate with us at the CAP23 annual meeting.

The CAP Foundation will thank our supporters with a special celebration during CAP23 on October 9 in Chicago. “Broadway and Blues Night”—sponsored by Loxo@Lily—will bring the fun and funk to the House of Blues with a special performance from Hamilton cast members, Chicago blues artist Keithen Banks, and great food and cocktails. We can’t wait to see you there, so be sure to get your tickets when you register for the annual meeting—there are only a few remaining! And if you’ve already registered for the annual meeting, you can add a ticket to your cart through the member portal.

During the meeting please make sure to visit our kiosk and drop into our recharge room.

• • Kiosk (next to CAP23 registration) hours: Friday, October 6, through Monday, October 9, 7:00 AM–4:00 PM
  • Recharge Room (Comiskey Room) hours: Saturday, October 7, 8:30 AM–2:30 PM and Sunday, October 8, 8:30 AM–Noon

Thank you again for your support of the CAP Foundation. Without you, we couldn’t’ have provided these unique programs that work to support patient care and health equity through laboratory medicine.

Sincerely,

Eva M. Wojcik, MD, FCAP
President, CAP Foundation
