Pathology training, due to its emotional intensity and relative isolation, is uniquely positioned to incorporate reflective, collaborative trainings into didactics. We describe the design and implementation of a narrative medicine-inspired interdisciplinary pedagogy, focused on meaning and motivation, value and authenticity, ambiguity and uncertainty, imposter syndrome and resiliency, health equity, and joy. We believe these teachings have increased camaraderie among trainees in our program, improved residency culture, and as a result, we encourage adoption of narrative medicine didactics by other pathology training programs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":44927,"journal":{"name":"Academic Pathology","volume":"13 2","pages":"Article 100247"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147657719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB)-DCLS program presented data regarding the implementation of the program from 2016 to 2021. This follow-up study presents the DCLS program outcomes to date. A DCLS alumni, clinical supervisor, and employer surveys were distributed to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and explore the role and patient-care impact of DCLS graduates. The majority of UTMB DCLS alumni secured employment before graduation or shortly thereafter and currently work in academic medical centers and reference laboratories as medical or laboratory directors. Clinicians rate the perceived contribution of DCLS graduates to clinical practice to be highly beneficial, and employers indicate a significant impact of DCLS graduates on patient outcomes. The results presented in this study demonstrate the active participation of DCLS in the healthcare team, thus supporting the need to invest in academic DCLS programs to further the growth of this advanced practice degree.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":44927,"journal":{"name":"Academic Pathology","volume":"13 1","pages":"Article 100229"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145624940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
