The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA Network Open, July 16, 2020 issue) shared some interesting news concerning the under counting of pathologists in the workforce. The AAMC database excludes any pathologist who has received formal training in any of the various pathology sub-specialties: cytopathology, dermatopathology, hematopathology, forensic pathology and seven others. This explains why the specialty of pathology has appeared to shrink during the past decade. The actual count is 21,292 in contrast to the AAMC published number of 12,839. Wow! What a difference! There are more pathologists out there than we thought! Thank you JAMA for sharing this information! To read the full report, please visit JAMA.
