Last call to re-up your membership in the CAP and why one of the world's oldest and deadliest infectious diseases is on the rise in the U.S. Those stories and more next. This is Path News Network Daily Edition from the College of American Pathologists. I'm Nancy Johnson. It's Monday, March 30th. Tomorrow is the last day to renew your membership with the College of American Pathologists. From career development to advocacy and cutting-edge tools, the CAP helps members stay connected and grow their careers. I spoke with a few members about what the organization means to them. Dr. Jason Scapa chairs the Digital Content Committee. He joined the CAP as a first-year resident.
So being very involved and getting early. engagement with the CAP, learning its organization structure, what advocacy efforts and the importance of advocacy of our field and our profession the CAP fights for both locally and nationally. And then I can't tell you how many friends I've met in this organization, both at my stage of my career, but also mentors and professional leaders that I could look up to and strive to be in the coming years.
Dr. Elizabeth McLeod is a member of the Digital Content Committee and is the voice behind the medical mystery podcast Case Encounters.
I think the most valuable thing that I found out of my CAP membership is networking with other individuals. I became involved in the CAP as a resident, as a member of the resident forum. That was really influential in how I view The importance of meeting people that have more experience than me, networking with those people, and honestly, just making some friends that also do the same work that I do and understand. It's been really lovely.
Even in the later stages of his career, Dr. Peter Herreid continues to learn from his CAP peers and the diverse ways they practice pathology.
There's one way of practicing, which is in an office with a microscope and a telephone. There's another way, which is digital. There's another way, which is innovative, bringing new technologies on board. There's another way that's molecular. There's another way that's academic practice. There's another way that is locum tenens practice. And discussing how each of those individuals came to those areas and what skills they can bring, whether it's budgetary, whether it's logistics, whether it's financial, whether it's academic, whether it's traditional pathology knowledge base, it's a... mixture of all those things together on the Practice Management Committee. And I learn much more from the other members than I do from what I feel like I can bring to them.
Dr. Guillermo Martinez-Torres chairs the Council on Membership and Professional Development. He says the CAP taught him how to lead, how to grow in his practice, and advocate for the profession.
I wouldn't be where I am today without that, without the college. I wouldn't be in the position that I am in. So I am one of those people under the personas. I am classified as a cappy for life. So I've always been a member and I'll be a member until the day that I die.
You'll find a link in the show notes to renew your membership. Tuberculosis, the world's deadliest infectious disease, is making a troubling comeback in the United States after decades of decline. According to a story in Vox. Health officials point to recent outbreaks in schools and communities, along with rising case counts linked to delayed diagnoses, public health funding gaps, and untreated latent infections. About 13 million people in the U.S. carry latent tuberculosis, which can become active and contagious if left untreated. Experts warn that without sustained investment in testing, treatment and prevention, the airborne disease could continue spreading in places least expected. Early career pathologists are getting practical advice on landing their first jobs in a new CAP podcast. Interviewing can feel intimidating, and it's a skill they may not have learned in medical school, but experts say it's also a chance to evaluate whether a role truly fits your career goals. Dr. Neha Varshney speaks with Dr. Karim Sirgi and Dr. Jeremy Ditelberg, who share real-world interview tips and lessons from their own experiences.
Let me start with what you should never ask in an interview. What is something you would never ask?
compensation is something to be avoided until later in the process, probably not even that day unless it's offered to you. Really, the goal for an interview day is to get a sense of whether you would be a good fit for that particular practice.
The episode is a collaboration between the CAP's New in Practice and Practice Management Committees and part one of a two-part series on job search strategies. You can listen to the podcast on Cap on Demand. And finally, the CAP Foundation launches The Threads That Hold Us, a storytelling initiative highlighting the people behind its impact, from members and donors to staff and patients. The campaign builds on last year's theme of connection, showing how every contribution forms a chain that supports the Foundation's mission. This week, the focus is on Ranya, an operations manager for the foundation who helps keep those connections strong and moving forward. Through these stories, the foundation aims to spotlight the many voices and roles that together make its work and its impact possible. That's all for The Daily Edition. Be sure to check the show notes for more information on today's stories. We're back. tomorrow at 5 a.m. Eastern for another episode of The Daily Edition. I'm Nancy Johnson. Have a great day.
