Congratulations to the 2021 American Society for Clinical Pathology's 40 Under Forty honorees! The 40 Under Forty program recognizes members under the age of 40 for their achievements and leadership qualities that are making an impact on pathology and laboratory medicine.

Forty pathologists, laboratory professionals and residents are chosen annually through an application or nomination process. The program has recognized worthy members of the laboratory team both nationally and internationally. From the 40 Under Forty honorees, five individuals are selected as the 40 Under Forty Top Five through a combination of public voting and committee selection.

This year’s 40 Under Forty cohort will also participate in the Career Ambassadors or Pathology Ambassadors programs.

After the 40 Under Forty are announced, public voting and committee selection determine the Top Five. The Top Five winners receive a stipend to attend the ASCP 2021 Annual Meeting. Be sure to vote for the Top Five by July 16, 2021.
