The College of American Pathologists presents Bharati Suketu Jhaveri, MD, FCAP, with the 2023 CAP Pathologist of the Year Award in recognition of her long and distinguished career in pathology.
Dr. Jhaveri has devoted much of her professional life to the CAP. A mentor and leader, she has worked with members on many committees, especially during her eight years on the CAP Board of Governors and throughout her tenure as chair of the Council on Membership and Professional Development and chair of the Council on Accreditation.
Much of Dr. Jhaveri’s time at the CAP has revolved around the House of Delegates (HOD) and in national and international inspections, with her leading accreditation teams throughout the world and participating in international accreditation/educational seminars. She is also a member of the CAP Foundation Board of Directors and was heavily involved in the Foundation’s Empowering Our Future fundraising campaign, which raised over $2 million.
An engaged and focused pathologist, Dr. Jhaveri is an all-star player who has made significant contributions to all parts of the CAP—HOD, membership, accreditation, education, and advocacy. She is a role model, a cheerleader, and a tireless donor of her time and talent.
After a long career as a community pathologist, including serving as medical director of St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, Illinois, and as a clinical professor at Southern Illinois University, Dr. Jhaveri currently serves as a medical consultant at the Illinois Department of Human Services.
