Description
The Association of Clinical Pathologists (ACP) Career Development Awards support service training, personal development, and study for management qualifications that benefit clinical pathology service delivery. Consultants and specialist trainees can seek support for planned study or development at home or overseas, including experience in a host department or learning laboratory methods. The activity must form part of an agreed personal development plan.
The awards can cover tuition fees, travel, and maintenance during the study period. Past supported activities include a consultant virologist’s visit to a US laboratory to learn raft-cell culture methods for human papillomavirus and an ACP-member Chinese histopathologist’s visit to Australia to broaden experience of gynaecological and breast tumour pathology.
