The College of American Pathologists (CAP) is a medical society serving more than 15,000 physician members and the laboratory community throughout the world. It is the world's largest association composed exclusively of pathologists and is considered a leader in providing laboratory quality improvement programs.

The College maintains a staff of almost 400 persons in its Northfield, Illinois headquarters and Division of Government and Professional Affairs in Washington D.C.

The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program is widely recognized as the "gold standard" and has served as a model for various federal, state, and private laboratory accreditation programs throughout the world.

CAP also offers a Laboratory Management Index Program, a laboratory fiscal management tool.
