ADASP Shines at USCAP 2024: Celebrating Excellence in Pathology
USCAP 2024 was once again a stellar event, with the Stowell-Orbison and ADASP Poster Award Session standing out as a highlight of the conference. This year, ADASP (Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology) honored two groundbreaking research contributions to the field of pathology.
The Stowell-Orbison and ADASP Poster Award Session typically occurs on Monday morning.
Briefly, the ADASP councils screens all abstracts and then presents a selection of ~50-60 top ranking abstracts to the 2024 ADASP Abstract Review Subcommittee that was comprised of Dr. Oluwole Fadare, Dr. Kathleen Montone, Dr. Luis Gonzalez-Cuyar, Dr. Michelle Reid, and Dr. Joe Lennerz. These individuals undertook the task of selecting ultimately 7 surgical/cytopathology finalists as well as 3 autopsy finalists. The rigorous selection process ensures that only the most innovative and impactful research makes it to the final stage. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the 2024 ADASP Abstract Review Subcommittee for their dedication and discernment in curating an exceptional lineup of finalists.
On Monday, March 25, 2024, the ADASP Poster Review Subcommittee, composed of Dr. Luis Gonzalez-Cuyar, Dr. Michelle Reid, Dr. Aubrey Lazenby, Dr. Christa Whitney-Miller, and Dr. Joe Lennerz, toured the selected finalists' posters. Engaging with the first authors, they delved into the intricacies of each study, assessing not only the scientific merit but also the presentation's clarity and visual appeal. Posters were evaluated based on various criteria, including the relevance of morphology, scientific significance, methodology quality, and the presenter proficiency in explaining the relevance of the study and findings.
Finally, on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, the awards were presented alongside the prestigious Stowell-Orbison Award. The winners of the 2024 ADASP Autopsy and Surgical Pathology Awards.
