The Texas Society of Pathologists is the statewide membership organization specifically targeted to pathologists practicing in Texas. Founded in 1921, TSP is the oldest state pathology organization in the United States, and currently has more than 790 members statewide. Through its mission of "Focusing on Excellence in Medicine," the Society provides continuing medical education, publications, a resource center, advocacy, job placement listings, and many other member services for pathologists and those interested in the field of pathology. The Society hosts an annual meeting, the New Issues Forum, and an annual Young Pathologists' Summer Retreat. Each meeting provides numerous hours of continuing medical education, including the required instruction in ethics. The "Focal Point" newsletter, which is published throughout the year, highlights activities and news of interest for pathologists. Through its council/committee structure, the Society represents pathologists at the Texas Medical Association, American Medical Association, College of American Pathologists, American Society of Clinical Pathologists, and throughout Texas and the United States by focusing on socioeconomic, regulatory, and legislative issues that affect practicing pathologists. The TSP is THE VOICE for the practice of pathology in Texas. Senate Bill 1832 Signed Into Law Senate Bill 1832 was signed into law by the Governor on May 18, 2007. The bill passed through the Texas Legislature with a near unanimous approval (28 to 1 vote in the Senate and 140 to 0 vote in the House). We appreciate the hard work of many people to make this happen, including Representative Dan Gattis from Austin and Senator Robert Duncan from Lubbock.
