The American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and the Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology (ADASP) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) effective March 15 for ASCP to manage the day-to-day activities of ADASP, so its leaders can conduct business more efficiently. Previously, ADASP volunteers handled both administrative and strategic functions. The MOU also fosters greater collaboration for both organizations' educational and scientific activities in support of anatomic pathology and the broader pathology community.
"Our partnership with ASCP creates new opportunities for our members to be fully engaged and focused on strategic planning," said ADASP President Jeffrey L. Myers, MD, FASCP, A. James French Professor and Director of Divisions of Anatomic Pathology and Medical Laboratories, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich. "The MOU creates the capacity for our organization to think and do big things. We found a great partner in ASCP."
