Accreditation Criteria for Associate & Full IATP Fellows

 

Fellows are globally recognized for their distinguished accomplishments and consistent dedication to the enhancement of toxicologic pathology as per IATP Bylaws.

The criteria for accreditation in toxicologic pathology by IATP are divided into three areas and applicants must demonstrate accomplishments in all three areas:

  • Qualifications (Education & Training)
  • Professional Experience (Published and unpublished authorship: research publications, review articles; book chapters)
  • Recognition of Scientific Judgment (Editorial responsibilities; invited papers, seminars, lectures, posters; awards; mentorship)

Applications are blindly reviewed by the Accreditation Committee consisting of 9 Fellows representing all geographic areas served by IATP. Applicants are required to achieve 45 points to become an Associate Fellow and 75 points to become a Full Fellow. Criteria and scoring for becoming an IATP Fellow & Associate IATP Fellow can be found on the IATP website (https://www.iatpfellow.org ).

Associate Fellows should have a minimum of 5-7 years of professional experience to apply (minimum of 5 years of professional experience working full-time in a toxicologic pathology position or a minimum of 7 years of professional experience working full time if toxicologic pathology is not a major component of employment).

Benefits of Becoming a Fellow
