Molecular, cytogenetics, proteomics, telepathology, optical imaging, etc... Do you think residency programs today are teaching us what we need to know tomorrow? In many of the national pathology venues, the changes the future holds for our practice has become a huge topic for debate and concern. But are these same concerns being relayed to you in residency training? Do you think that pathologists will always be able to survive by simply "pushing glass"? What about those already in practice, will they be able to adapt?
I am currently a junior committee member of the CAP's Professional Affairs Committee, one of the venues in which this topic is being discussed. Additionally, at the recent CAP Resident's Forum held on March 24th, the CAP president Dr. Sodeman spoke to us about the need to prepare for these advances and take control of them. So I am interested to hear about how you view the future. Do you feel that your residency program offers the appropriate insight and education you need to succeed in the future? What ideas or suggestions do you have to help educate our colleagues, both in and out of residency?
Please feel free to reply on the blog with questions, ideas, additional concerns or email me at cardod@pathology.ufl.edu. And for additional comments, please read Dr. Coco's entry "Comments on the Future of Pathology."
Thank you!
