The Missouri Society of Pathologists (MSP) was originally formed in 1969 as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit corporation. We are the only organization within Missouri that works on a state level on behalf of all Missouri Pathologists. Our leadership hails from many different areas of Missouri to create liaisons between local Pathologists and other key stakeholders. Education, scholarship, advocacy, membership participation and interactions with local, state and national societies are important blocks in the MSP’s current structure. As an incorporated body of professionals, we are recognized by the state and federal governments, by associations of other state and national groups of healthcare professionals, and companies.
