Abstract

Pathology and Laboratory Medicine discipline occupies a special place in the medical school and healthcare ecosystem as it bridges basic medical science and clinical practice. In the era of rapid knowledge and technology evolution, the new ways of communication, new training requirements, and the demand of personalized precision diagnostics, this specialty is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Some of these challenges are institution-specific, while many are shared worldwide at different magnitudes. This review shares our team efforts in effectively dealing with challenges of budget constraints, engaging diverse and distributed faculties to establish and implement a shared vision and strategy to achieve sustained improvement in education programs and research enterprise. We hope that our experiences and insights can inspire other university departments in finding innovative approaches for their unique challenges and opportunities.

期刊介绍： Academic Pathology is an open access journal sponsored by the Association of Pathology Chairs, established to give voice to the innovations in leadership and management of academic departments of Pathology. These innovations may have impact across the breadth of pathology and laboratory medicine practice. Academic Pathology addresses methods for improving patient care (clinical informatics, genomic testing and data management, lab automation, electronic health record integration, and annotate biorepositories); best practices in inter-professional clinical partnerships; innovative pedagogical approaches to medical education and educational program evaluation in pathology; models for training academic pathologists and advancing academic career development; administrative and organizational models supporting the discipline; and leadership development in academic medical centers, health systems, and other relevant venues. Intended authorship and audiences for Academic Pathology are international and reach beyond academic pathology itself, including but not limited to healthcare providers, educators, researchers, and policy-makers.
