  • Educational Content Development: Collaborating with the ASCP Resident Council to create engaging educational content for trainees and practicing pathologists using social media.
  • Survival Guide for Early-Career Pathologists: Assembling a self-paced guide for early-career pathologists covering essential topics and professional skills to aid their transition into practice.
Key Findings:
  • Workforce attrition is a significant challenge in pathology.
  • New educational content is being developed to enhance learning and engagement.
  • A survival guide for early-career pathologists is being created to support their transition into practice.
Interpretation:

The ASCP Pathologist Council is actively addressing the challenges faced by pathologists through targeted initiatives.

Limitations:
