IAPMD Animation
International Academy of Pathology is dedicated to the advancement of Anatomic Pathology through educational activities such as conferences, slide seminars, updates on specific anatomic pathology topics etc.

The Malaysian Division was formed to gather the anatomic pathologists of Malaysia under one 'umbrella'. The Malaysian Division (IAPMD) joined the IAP in 2013.

This is the 13th year of IAPMD establishment of this division. Currently in 2026 we have 390 members, mainly practicing in Malaysia.

The annual scientific meeting is among the main activities. Previous venues include UiTM Sg. Buloh, Ipoh, Penang, Kota Bharu, Kota Kinabalu, Malacca, Kuantan (Virtual), Kuching, Sunway City and recently in Kuala Terengganu.

IAPMD successfully organized the Asia Pacific International Academy of Pathology in 2023.
