Area of Science:

  • Laboratory management
  • Pathology training
  • Healthcare administration

Background:

  • Healthcare systems increasingly view laboratories as cost centers, necessitating leadership and management skills in pathologists.
  • Traditional pathology residency programs often lack comprehensive management training.
  • The University of Utah's academic pathology department and commercial laboratory provided a unique setting for developing such training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and initial implementation of a combined didactic and practical management training program for senior pathology residents.
  • To assess the effectiveness of a structured curriculum in building a foundation for laboratory management principles.
  • To evaluate the impact of a 'real-world' hands-on experience in reinforcing learned management concepts.

Main Methods:

  • A 1-month intensive didactic management course was designed for senior pathology residents.
  • The didactic phase was followed by a 3-month practical, hands-on management experience.
  • Residents served as assistant directors of laboratories under a one-on-one mentorship with the director of laboratories.

Main Results:

  • The program provided a broad-based foundation in laboratory management principles through theoretical instruction.
  • The subsequent practical phase allowed residents to apply learned principles in an operational laboratory setting.
  • The mentorship model facilitated direct application and reinforcement of management skills.

Conclusions:

  • A combined didactic and mentorship-based approach is effective for training pathologists in laboratory management.
  • Integrating theoretical knowledge with practical experience enhances leadership and administrative capabilities in pathology residents.
  • This model addresses the evolving needs of healthcare delivery systems by preparing pathologists for management roles.
