A College that works for every pathologist, in every practice setting
I am Raj Dash, Professor of Pathology at Duke University and a member of the CAP Board of Governors. I am running to serve as President-Elect of the College of American Pathologists.
Pathology is changing fast: digital workflows, artificial intelligence, new payment pressures, and a new generation of pathologists who expect the College to keep pace. I want CAP to meet that moment by building on our greatest strength, our people, and connecting them to the laboratories and customers we serve.
As Vice-Chair for Anatomic Pathology at Duke, I work hand in hand with the community practice groups at Duke Regional, Duke Raleigh, and Duke Health Lake Norman, and I helped lead the laboratory system go-lives at Duke Raleigh and Duke Regional. I have built systems and practices for community settings, not only for a tertiary center.
Why I am running
- Make CAP work for your practice. Fair payment, less cost and burden from accreditation and proficiency testing, and tools that save time and money in community, private, and academic laboratories alike.
- Connect laboratories to CAP in ways that improve your practice. My background in interoperability and standards development can help CAP build reliable two-way data connections that cut manual work and cost for laboratories of every size.
- Keep the College strong for every member. Community and private-practice pathologists are the backbone of CAP. I want every member, from residents to practice leaders, to see CAP as their professional home.
