To be appointed to a TDAC means a physician is an established subject matter expert in their subspecialty field and is current on the latest advances in the continually evolving field of pathology and patient care. TDAC committee members<\/a> develop and review examination questions for statistical performance and relevance to current practice. They contribute to the validity of examinations by determining the content and distribution of items on examinations (exam blueprints). The TDACs also advise the ABPath on issues in their subspecialty area of expertise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe members of our Test Development and Advisory committees are experts in their respective fields. These individuals are instrumental in assessment development, the setting of standards, and provide guidance regarding the current state of Pathology. The appointment of an individual to a test committee is a recognition of their expertise and their contributions ensure the integrity and relevance of board certification,\u201d states Gary W. Procop, MD, MS, MEd, CEO of the American Board of Pathology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since 1971, the ABPath has appointed test committees for each specialty area of pathology. The committee consists of ABPath trustees and other pathologists or specialty physicians who are recognized experts in their respective disciplines. There are presently 14 ABPath TDACs. They are: Anatomic Pathology, Anatomic Pathology CertLink\u00ae, Blood Banking\/Transfusion Medicine, Chemical Pathology, Clinical Pathology CertLink\u00ae, Management and Informatics, Cytopathology, Dermatopathology (with appointees from the American Board of Dermatology), Forensic Pathology, Hematopathology, Medical Microbiology, Molecular Genetic Pathology (with appointees from the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics), Neuropathology, and Pediatric Pathology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
