The Arizona Society of Pathologists is composed of approximately 120 pathologists in the state of Arizona, including active practicing, retired, and resident physicians.

         The Society is a vigorous and committed organization, involved in educational activities, issues related to the professional practice of pathology, and interaction with other state and national medical groups. 

    Our 2024 Annual Meeting was held on Saturday, October 5, 2024 - a hybrid in-person/virtual meeting held at Bob Bove Neuroscience Institute, HonorHealth, Scottsdale.  We engaged an excellent lineup of speakers as well as exhibitors, a business meeting and reception. Up to 5.5 CME Credit Hours were earned by the attendees

.

      Our annual meetings are held on Saturdays to facilitate attendance by our members and involve scholarly presentations by nationally known pathology educators.  In addition, we usually include one or two sessions to address issues of current concern regarding professional aspects of pathology practice.

     The Society has representation on its Executive Board for state legislative affairs and the State Department of Health, to monitor and provide pathologists input into legislative and regulatory activities related to the practice of pathology.
