About TNPCIAPM

The Tamil Nadu Pondicherry Chapter of IAPM started in 1975 with Dr. Sarasabharati as President and Dr. Gnanadesikan as Secretary. The first annual state meet was conducted at MMC in 1987, and since 2000, TAPCON has become an annual event of the TN and Pondicherry Chapter of IAPM.

The TAPCON state annual conference, held in July or August, provides a platform for postgraduates and faculty to present papers and oral presentations. Hands-on workshops help participants enhance their skills, stay updated with new protocols, and network with experts from across India and abroad. Even undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in poster presentations and quizzes, motivating future pathologists.
