American Registry of Pathology
Armed Forces Institute of Pathology

The American Registry of Pathology (ARP) is a non-profit corporation reflecting thirty-eight national societies, which sponsor registries within the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP).

The Registry was created by Public Law 94-361 in 1976. Its governing body, the Board of Members, is composed of representatives of professional societies.

The ARP engages in cooperative enterprises in medical research and education in collaboration with the AFIP. It functions as a fiscal agent in the management of contracts, research grants and monies derived from tuition fees and consultations. It serves as a focus for the interchange between military and civilian pathology and encourages the participation of medical, dental and veterinary sciences in pathology for the mutual benefit of military and civilian medicine. It publishes the atlas of pathology and other publications.

The ARP provides funds in support of various fellowship programs. Additional information concerning the ARP may be obtained from the Executive Director.
