📢 Calling All Pathology Residents in Belgium! 📢

Are you passionate about improving pathology training in Belgium? Do you want a say in shaping the future of our specialty? Now is your chance!

The YPS (Young Pathologists Section) is looking for new members to strengthen our board and expand our impact. Our mission is simple: to represent and support pathology residents across Belgium—and we’ve already made real change happen:

✅ We identify and address urgent issues in residency, like the unclear recognition criteria and the lack of essential courses.

✅ We fought for and secured the Basic Courses in the BSP—these wouldn’t exist without our efforts!

✅ We are collaborating with Forpath to develop a broad and accessible educational platform for pathology residents.

✅ We’ve organized macroscopic dissection courses for both residents and lab technicians.

✅ We’ve set up resident-focused sessions within the BSP to ensure our voices are heard.

✅ And so much more!

🔹 How can you get involved?
