Professor of Pathology and Residency Program Director Thomas J. Cummings, MD, was selected to serve as vice chair of the Residency Program Directors Section (PRODS) for the 2023-2024 academic year at the Association of Pathology Chairs (APC) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL, from July 16-19, 2023. At the meeting, Cummings gave a presentation titled “When a Resident is Involved in a Compliance Violation” as part of the Professionalism and HR Legal Perspectives session.
“It is a great honor to serve and to contribute to the mission of APC-PRODS,” Cummings said.
APC-PRODS provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas; makes recommendations concerning rules governing content and management of resident training to the Residency Review Committee and American Board of Pathology; and participates in programs that facilitate the continued development and enhancement of Pathology training programs.
Training programs are those approved by the Residency Review Committee for Pathology or by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and which lead to eligibility for primary certification by the American Board of Pathology or the Canadian Board of Pathology.
