The ECPT was established in 2014 in order to support and enhance capacity in training, assessment, and educational supervision in pathology.

The ECPT is a national committee comprising representatives from some of Egypt’s major medical schools and training institutions. The committee functions under the patronage of the Supreme Council of Universities of Egypt and is affiliated with the Egyptian Society of Pathology. The ECPT is working in partnership with the Royal College of Pathologists, United Kingdom, to develop training programs, qualifications, standards, and practices in pathology and laboratory medicine specialties.
