The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) is the leading organisation representing Pathologists and Senior Scientists in Australasia. Its mission is to train and support pathologists and to improve the use of pathology testing to achieve better healthcare. For those who are not already familiar with this area of medicine, pathology is about the study of the causes of disease and pathologists are the specialist medical doctors involved in the diagnosis and monitoring almost of all acute and chronic illnesses.
The College was established in 1956 and has been responsible for the training and professional development of Pathologists and more recently Senior Scientists. College members come from across Australasia including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. The RCPA is also responsible for the promotion of the science and practice of pathology.
