  • Membership requirements for eligibility to Paper/poster presentation at KAPCON 2026:
  • IAPM / KCIAPM membership is necessary to submit abstract for oral paper/poster.
  • Delegates from outside Karnataka have an option of taking a temporary one time “session” membership of KCIAPM.
  • Session membership can be availed only by PGs and pathologists working or studying outside of Karnataka irrespective of their state of origin, which will be valid only for one KAPCON event and a charge of Rs. 500 will be levied by KCIAPM for the session membership to be eligible to present scientific paper/poster at the KAPCON 2026. For further information, please visit kciapm.org
  • Caveat 1: Pathologists and PGs in pathology, pursuing postgraduation or practicing in Karnataka, irrespective of their state of origin have to become KCIAPM life members to be eligible for scientific presentations, both oral paper and poster at KAPCON 2026.
  • Caveat 2: Further, Life time members of IAPM (both PGs and pathologists working or studying outside of Karnataka irrespective of their state of origin) are eligible to present scientific paper/poster at KAPCON 2026 without the need for KCIAPM membership. However, this does not apply to PGs and pathologists studying or practicing in Karnataka, irrespective of their state of origin, who will mandatorily need a KCIAPM membership.
