Washington, DC —As part of the organization's ongoing efforts to educate policy influencers—members of Congress, congressional staff, regulatory agency officials, and health policy experts—the College of American Pathologists (CAP) is continuing an advertisement campaign with new ads at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).

The advertisements are intended to bring greater attention to the role of pathologists in patient diagnosis. There are a total of five advertisements at DCA: two wall advertisements and a floor advertisement located in the terminal B bridge on the second level (between the Metro Rail and parking garage exit and security), and two wall advertisements in the terminal C bridge on the second level.

A core function of the CAP's overall messaging is that policy influencers, among others, recognize the value of pathologists in bettering patient care. One advertisement reads, "KNOW PATHOLOGISTS. The pathologist's diagnosis drives effective treatment decisions for patients." The second reads, "KNOW PATHOLOGISTS. Know physicians who specialize in the diagnosis of disease."
