Additional Information
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 will receive an evaluation via email shortly after submitting results online.
Additional online advanced education cases provide immediate feedback on interpretation selection, follow‑up recommendations, and case‑related educational questions.
Five glass slides per shipment; five online cases; one laboratory response form and two individual response forms; ; NGC provides CME or CE credit for one pathologist or cytotechnologist; for each additional pathologist or cytotechnologist, order NGC1
Earn a maximum of 25 CME credits (AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™) per pathologist and a maximum of 25 CE credits per cytotechnologist for completing the glass slides and online cases.
