I was wondering what other small CAP accredited GI labs did for proficiency testing. The lab I work in only does H&Es, and two IHC stains (H. pylori and CD8). that's it. All the PT programs with CAP are overkill for what little we do. In the past I have sent slides reflecting my work to an outside pathologist to review. He would send back a evaluation based on my work. But, this year my inspection is due and the letter informing me of the inspection stated that a CAP approved PT had to be used. If anyone has any first hand knowledge on what I should do, please feel free to email me. Thanks!
