  • Designed to help pathologists and cytotechnologists get ready to succeed, the Nongynecologic Cytopathology Education Program (NGC) is an interlaboratory educational opportunity to assess participants’ screening and interpretive skills. The NGC program is unsuitable for proficiency testing as these cases are chosen for their educational value. Cases may incorporate static online images that include radiology and multiple aspects of pathology to enhance the interpretation.
  • Participants can receive laboratory reference interpretations and performance for the NGC slides within 20 minutes by email after submitting the laboratory form via fax.
  • Additional online advanced education cases provide immediate feedback on interpretation selection, follow‑up recommendations, and case‑related educational questions.
