The Chromogen Siblings are back to talk about the proposed VALID Act. Drs. Mike Arnold (@MArnold_PedPath), Andrew Bellizzi (@IHC_guy), and Sanam Loghavi (@sanamloghavi) speak with Dr. Emily Volk (@EEVMD) of the University of Louisville and President of the College of American Pathologists (CAP, @Pathologists), and Dr. Jonathan Myles (@JonathanMyles10) of the Cleveland Clinic and Chair of the Council on Government and Professional Affairs for the College of American Pathologists.
