The JPC accepts cases, from U.S. military and Federal pathologists or by clinicians (dermatologists, ophthalmologists, and neurologists) functioning as pathologists.

The JPC's Human and Veterinary Contributor's Consultation Request Form must be completed in their entirety (previous editions are obsolete), a copy of the applicable pathology report(s) must be attached and the slides and/or blocks included with the case. The JPC's business is with the contributor. It is the policy of the JPC to retain microscopic slides on permanent file.

The JPC does not accept non-federal civilian consultation cases on human tissue.

There is a change in the procedure for the submission of cases for inclusion in the war-related Registries. A new form, the JPC Registry Submission, Acknowledgement and Receipt Form, JPC Form 543 has been created exclusively for the submission of cases to the JPC Registries in which no JPC consultation is required. A link to the form and accompanying instructions are in the gray area on the left side of this page. Please refer to the Contributor's Manual for a complete overview and instructions.

Consultation inquiries or comments may be submitted to JPC Customer Service at1-855-393-3904. All inquiries containing patient information must be encrypted. We are unable to respond to unencrypted messages containing patient information.
