In May 2014, 平特五不中 received accreditation by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) for the newly developed Area of Focused Competence (AFC) Diploma Program in Cytopathology, thus becoming the first accredited AFC Program at 平特五不中.
The 平特五不中 AFC Program in Cytopathology consists of 1 year of additional training after residency in either Diagnostic & Molecular Pathology(previously Anatomical Pathology) or Diagnostic and Clinical Pathology (previously General Pathology), and is competency-based. The trainees will be involved in all aspects of cytopathology, including interpretation of specimens, management of the laboratory, performance and rapid on-site assessment of fine needle aspirations, selection/interpretation of ancillary studies, and scholarly projects. The trainees who will graduate from the 平特五不中 AFC in Cytopathology program will receive a Diploma certificate from the RCPSC (the DRCPSC) and they will be equipped with the leadership and consultant skills required to respond competently to the rapidly evolving field of Cytopathology.
