Welcome to the Indiana
Association of Pathologists Website
Welcome to the web home for Indiana’s physicians engaged in the practice of anatomic and clinical pathology, and the home for Indiana’s physicians in postgraduate residency training in the medical specialties and subspecialties of pathology. We are the Indiana Association of Pathologists. For many decades, the IAP has provided premier quality continuing medical education experiences for Indiana’s pathologists, and we provide a forum for discussion about the business issues related to the practice of pathology in this state. We work with our national affiliate, the College of American Pathologists to support state and national initiatives for laboratory quality improvement, accreditation, and legislative change to improve the quality of medicine provided in this state, and the advancement of pathology practice opportunities. If you are a pathologist visiting this site to look for continuing medical education opportunities, please check out our annual Spring Slide Seminar. If you are a physician licensed to practice in the United States, seeking a training position in anatomic and clinical pathology, we invite you to check out the two postgraduate pathology residency training programs in Indiana:
1. Department of Pathology, Ball Memorial Hospital, Muncie, Indiana
2. Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana.
Old Pathology Building, Indiana Medical History Museum, Indpls, IN.
We are physically located in the Old Pathology Building, built in 1896 (National Register of Historic Places), at the site of the former Central State Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. This building stands as the only 19th century pathology laboratory in the United States, and it is the centerpiece for the Indiana Medical History Museum . The building is the nation’s premier example of architecture and medical history for the 19th century practice of pathology, and for the pedagogy of pathology as it developed in the era of scientific medical discovery. The building itself is a forerunner to the Indiana University School of Medicine, and on a grand scale the building provides insight into the relationship between scientific discovery and medicine as it evolved through the 20th Century.
If you got to this web page looking for additional information on Indiana’s rich history of pathology and medicine, that information is available through the Indiana Medical History Museum. The Museum can arrange individual or group tours of the Old Pathology Building, including the medical education facilities, pathology laboratories, autopsy and dissection rooms, and neuropathology anatomical exhibits which are available here and open to the public.
The membership of the IAP, the pathologists and pathology trainees across the state of Indiana, welcome you to our site and encourage you to consider joining the organization if you are engaged in the medical practice of pathology in Indiana.
Thank you for visiting.
Sincerely,
Harvey Cramer, M.D.
President of the Indiana Association of Pathologists, 2009-2010
