On behalf of the Chicago Pathology Society, we would like to welcome you to
our 2019-2020 lecture series. Illinois Registry (IRAP) meetings take place at
7:00 P.M. at the UIC College of Medicine Research Building (COMRB),
Room 1020 (1st floor just up the steps on your left) on the second or fourth
Monday of the month from September through April. The regular meetings
(CPS lectures) occur on the second Monday of the month at the UIC (COMET
3 rd floor), except for the annual slide seminar on May 11 (presented by Dr.
Daniel Brat, MD, PhD this year) which occurs in Room 500 at Rush.
Membership dues are $90 ($100 if paid after Sept 30) and free for emeritus
members and trainees. Regular and emeritus members may receive slides from
the Illinois Registry for an additional $90 ($100 if paid after Sept 30) or $50 for
trainees, and you must complete the attached member update form. This will be
your only dues notification. Please pay your dues online at our website,
www.chicagopathology.org , clicking on Membership tab and then Payments
(preferred method) or by mailing your check and updated member form to the
Secretary, Dr. Ajit Paintal. IRAP and lecture handouts are also posted on our
website.
Make sure to confirm that we have your correct e-mail address, as all
correspondence is sent via e-mail. You will receive an email reminder if you
have already paid for the upcoming year. If you have not paid your dues for the
past 2 years, then your name will be removed from the CPS roster and email list.
Our first meeting will be on September 23, 2019 at the UIC COMRB building
when NorthShore University Health System will present the Illinois Registry
slide seminar.
We are sponsoring a research competition for residents again this year. Please
encourage any resident to enter. The deadline for submission is December 15,
2019. Cash prizes will be awarded and the winners will present their work on
February 10, 2020. In addition, we will be continuing the highly rated resident
board review course started last year by CPS members on the weekend of May
16-17, 2019 to be held at Loyola University (details to follow later).
PRA category I (CME) credits will be available; one hour for lectures at the
University of Illinois and two hours for the IRAP slide seminars from the
College of American Pathologists (CAP) for a total of more than 20 hours.
There is no better deal around. CME credit will only be given to members in
good standing. Evaluations will be performed online through Survey Monkey,
per CAP procedures. CPS has been approved by American Board of Pathology
for SAM credits corresponding to CME credits. SAM questions will be sent
through Survey Monkey. You will get a SAM transcript at the end of academic year. We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming Chicago Pathology Society event.
