Dear Colleagues,

The Chicago Pathology Society (CPS) has been and continues to be an outstanding forum for educational programs, providing clinical and anatomical material to all levels of practice (clinical, anatomic, training programs, academic, and private settings) for the Chicago and Wisconsin areas.

It is my honor to serve as the incoming President of the Chicago Pathology Society for the Academic Year 2025–2026.

First of all, I would like to thank you, the Society, for giving me this opportunity to serve as your President.

Upcoming Academic Year Highlights

Our academic year will begin on September 22, 2025, with our first IRAP series presentation by Lurie Children’s Hospital.

The second event will take place on October 6, 2025, featuring the President’s Lecture by Dr. Paolo Gattuso on:

Another major highlight will be the Mary and Donald West King / ISP Lecture Annual Slide Seminar on May 2, 2026, moderated by Dr. John Hart.
