Patricia Tsang, MD, MBA (Chair)
MedStar Washington Hospital Center

The Publications Committee has certain responsibilities for AMP’s official journal, The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics.

Responsibilities

JMD is co-owned by the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP). The committee has advisory responsibilities to AMP’s Board and ASIP’s Council regarding JMD policy issues; scope statement; business success; publisher requests for proposals and selection; selection of editors and editorial board members; and performance expectations for editors.

The Publications Committee does not oversee JMD’s production or editorial functions; however, it may request or receive information and make recommendations to the editor-in-chief and managing editor.

The committee also reviews AMP member submissions of Case Reports for potential publication in CAP Today.

The committee meets monthly by conference call, face-to-face before the annual meeting, and by electronic communication.
