Like myself, other residents are just as nervous when it comes to looking for their first job out of training. In fact, when the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Resident Council polled residents about issues that matter most, the top three were passing boards, applying for fellowships, … [1]: /embed/inline-graphic-1.gif
