    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Health Workforce Analysis
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Current pathology manpower indicates a balance between supply and demand.
    • This equilibrium may be disrupted by external factors, notably US citizens trained in foreign medical schools.
    • Several critical issues affect the pathology workforce.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the current state of pathology manpower.
    • To identify factors that could disrupt the existing supply-demand equilibrium.
    • To address key issues and propose recommendations for pathology workforce management.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of current pathology workforce supply and demand.
    • Identification of exogenous influences on the workforce.
    • Review of critical manpower issues and government roles.

    Main Results:

    • The pathology workforce is in apparent equilibrium, except in academic and subspecialty areas.
    • An influx of US citizens from foreign medical schools poses a potential threat to this balance.
    • Optimal numbers, future productivity, and academic needs are key concerns.

    Conclusions:

    • The pathology workforce is stable but vulnerable to external changes.
    • Proactive measures are needed to manage pathologist numbers and address future needs.
    • Recommendations are provided to ensure a sustainable pathology workforce.
