Public Comment Period Open for Content Specifications for Certification Exams
Public Comment Period Open for Content Specifications for Certification Exams
November 7, 2024 – The American Board of Pathology (ABPath) is pleased to share the first draft of our comprehensive Content Specifications documents for public review. Many of the Member Boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties have detailed content guidance documents for residents and fellows preparing for certification and practice. Following this established practice, we have developed these guiding documents to support our pathology trainees in their preparation for certification and practice.
This initiative represents over eighteen months of dedicated work by our Test Development and Advisory Committees (TDAC), Trustees, and ABPath Staff. We are now eagerly seeking your valuable input to ensure these documents continue to fully serve our community’s needs.
We invite you to:
- Review the documents in their entirety or focus on your area of specialty
- Provide feedback through our survey link
- Submit your recommendations no later than Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2025
Your feedback will be carefully compiled and forwarded to the respective TDACs for review and final editing. This collaborative approach reflects our commitment to an inclusive review of certification materials and our deep appreciation of our stakeholders as essential partners in the certification process.
We encourage residents and fellows to use the Content Specifications as a general study guide for the 2025 certification exams but please recognize this is not the final version of the documents.
Thank you for contributing your feedback to this important project. Your input will help shape the future of pathology certification and training.
