American Board of Pathology

The ABPath issues primary certificates in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, Anatomic Pathology, Clinical Pathology, Anatomic Pathology/Neuropathology. W. B. T. J. H.

In June 1935, the American Medical Association (AMA) Section on Pathology and Physiology and the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) appointed committees that together considered the feasibility and desirability of establishing a national certifying board. The joint committee agreed unanimously that such a board should be established and proceeded to draw up bylaws. In May 1936, the A

SCP and the AMA Section on Pathology and Physiology accepted the proposed bylaws, authorized the nomination of four members each to the ABP, and incorporated in Michigan. Approval of the ABP was granted by the Advisory Board for Medical Specialties and the AMA Council on Medical Education and Hospitals. On July 19, 1936, the ABP met for the first time in Chicago. The original trustees were F. Hartman, E. Krumbhaar, H. Karsner, and J. Moore from the AMA Section on Pathology and Physiology, and A. Sanford, F. Lamb, A. G. Foord, and R. R. Kracke from the ASCP. Officers elected were: A. Sanford, President; F. Lamb, vice President; F. Hartman, secretary-treasurer.

Throughout ABPath's 90-year history, physician volunteers have played an essential role in advancing board certification in pathology.
Across generations and across our many committees, volunteers have shared their time, knowledge, and expertise to help develop examinations, guide programs, inform policies, and support the work of the Board.
We are grateful to all who have served—and to those who continue this important work today.

In 1936, ABPath held its first official business meeting and certified its first class of 60 Diplomates. In the decades that followed, certification exams were administered very differently than they are today — including in hotel ballrooms like the exam from 1972 pictured here.
