Pathology is not just about samples and slides—it’s about people, communities, and the stories behind every diagnosis. Beyond the Test: Connecting Communities Through Pathology, brought to you by the CAP Foundation, shines a light on how pathologists are advancing health equity and shaping the future of care.

New episodes drop monthly—because beyond every test, there’s a story worth telling.

Episode #1: Pathology for Change: Global Solutions

In this episode we dive into one of the most pressing challenges in global healthcare: the diagnostic gap. Too often, patients, especially in low- and middle-resource countries, face delays or lack access to essential testing. Our guests, three internationally recognized pathologists, explore why pathology is at the heart of patient care, the barriers faced by the profession, and the urgent need for visibility and advocacy.

The conversation highlights how technology, including AI, can transform diagnostics, and why engaging patients in this dialogue is critical for change. Together, our guests call on organizations like the CAP Foundation to spearhead solutions that close diagnostic gaps and strengthen the role of pathologists worldwide.
