Objective:

Introduce a permanent Hall of Fame recognizing individuals whose influence on pathology has endured.

Approach:
  • Eligibility: The Hall of Fame recognizes people honored at least five times on The Pathologist’s annual Power List, and preserves the memory of influential colleagues who have died.
  • Purpose: The Hall of Fame recognizes sustained influence while making room on the annual Power List for emerging leaders and new perspectives.
Key Findings:
  • The inaugural honorees represent contributions to digital pathology, clinical AI, education and mentorship, laboratory leadership, and access to healthcare.
  • Named honorees include Marilyn Bui, Andrew Janowczyk, Jerad Gardner, Valerie Fitzhugh, Kamran Mirza, David Wells, Ahmed Kalebi, and the late Christopher Fletcher.
  • The article describes members’ influence as continuing through their students, diagnostic approaches, technologies, and professional communities.
Interpretation:

The article presents the Hall of Fame as recognition of lasting contributions to pathology and as a complement to the annual Power List.

Limitations:
  • This is an editorial introduction, not a research study; it provides no methods or quantitative evaluation of honorees’ impact.
