“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.
