Job Description
The College of American Pathologists (CAP), celebrating 50 years as the gold standard in laboratory accreditation, is a medical society serving more than 18,000 physician members and the global laboratory community. It is the world's largest association composed exclusively of board-certified pathologists and is the worldwide leader in laboratory quality assurance. The College advocates accountable, high-quality, and cost-effective patient care.
The Manager, Policy Roundtable, is responsible for managing activities and conducting public policy research to elevate the College’s role and influence in developing health policies that will shape the future of pathology. They will also be responsible for increasing the visibility of the College so that it is ultimately the “go-to” organization when public policy is being evaluated and created.

The Manager, Policy Roundtable will:
• Work directly with members of the College through management of the College’s Policy Roundtable Subcommittee (PRTS) to develop and implement a strategic agenda for public policy research and development of public policy positions that support the practice of pathology. An important role in this function is the responsibility for developing the agenda, agenda book, and logistics coordination for in—person meetings (three annually) and periodic conference calls. Because the PRTS is a new entity, the incumbent will be responsible for developing operating procedures and processes as well as for coordinating some of the subcommittee’s substantive work.

• Serve as a liaison between the Policy Roundtable to at least one committee of the College (e.g., Personalized Healthcare Committee or Data Integration and Health Information Technology Committee).
