The College of American Pathologists (CAP) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and offers Joint Providership opportunities to organizations whose educational activities align with CAP's mission.

Through Joint Providership, eligible organizations can expand access to timely, evidence-based education without maintaining their own CME accreditation infrastructure. Participating organizations benefit from CAP's accreditation oversight, established review processes, and commitment to educational quality, scientific integrity, and independence.

CAP welcomes applications from eligible organizations offering educational activities in pathology or laboratory science. Joint Providership levels and fees are outlined below.


Joint Providership Levels and Fees

Applicable fees are based on your organization type and the amount of CME credit requested. Application fees will be assessed after review of your submission.

The CME fees listed below take effect January 1, 2027.

Level One Organizations

Nonprofit local or regional pathology societies

Application Fee: $550

CME Credit Fee: $125 per CME credit

Level Two Organizations

Nonprofit organizations other than local or regional pathology societies offering education complementary to the CAP mission

Additional Fees and Requirements

  • A single application may include up to three separate activities. In the application, list each activity separately and provide its title, date, location, and format.
  • If you request CE credit for non-physician learners in addition to CME credit, an additional fee of $35 per credit hour applies.
  • Financial or in-kind support from an ACCME-defined ineligible company: When an activity receives sponsor-provided financial or in-kind support from an ACCME-defined ineligible company, additional fees of up to $700 apply, and additional documentation is required. When CAP reviews financial support arrangements involving an ineligible company, the applicable handling fee may be assessed.

Note: An ACCME-defined ineligible company is an organization whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, reselling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. Examples include manufacturers or distributors of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostic products, and reagents. Contact CAP for more information.
