1Gray School of Medicine, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC.
Abstract:
This article reviews the most important personnel problems facing pathology by focusing on the major segments of the personnel pipeline. Practitioners are retiring at an increasing rate. Inadequate numbers of newly trained pathologists are available to fill vacancies. Training program numbers continue to decline. Attrition of trainees is substantial. Recruitment of new trainees encounters significant barriers. The future of pathology will depend on how wisely we respond to these problems.
