Schukow DO , Paul Kowalski MD","doi":"10.1016/j.acpath.2025.100186","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.acpath.2025.100186","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>Osteopathic medical schools emphasize a holistic approach to patient care, integrating Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) with traditional medical education. Unlike allopathic (MD) programs, which focus heavily on biomedical sciences, osteopathic (DO) programs place additional focus on the musculoskeletal system and primary care. Clinical training in DO programs often takes place in community-based medical centers, which typically lack specialized resources, such as pathology departments, limiting exposure to certain specialties. Pathology education in osteopathic schools varies widely, with some schools integrating pathology into foundational sciences through lectures, case-based learning, and histopathology labs. However, clinical clerkships offer inconsistent pathology exposure, compounded by limited partnerships with specialized pathology labs. A study of 61 accredited osteopathic colleges revealed variability in pathology faculty, with some schools lacking pathologists entirely. Additionally, only 12% of these colleges had pathologist deans. From 2021 to 2024, only 1.06% of DO students matched into pathology residency, though the percentage of pathology positions filled by DO applicants increased from 9.8% to 16.7%. This variability highlights the need for curriculum reforms and stronger collaboration with pathology departments to ensure equitable and thorough pathology training. Addressing these gaps is crucial for preparing osteopathic physicians to provide holistic and effective patient care.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":44927,"journal":{"name":"Academic Pathology","volume":"12 3","pages":"Article 100186"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144223456","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 Minnesota Medical School offers a one-year post-sophomore fellowship in pathology for medical students with the aim of introducing medical students to the field of pathology and increasing knowledge of research methods; however, there is hesitancy among current medical students about delaying graduation by one year for fellowships. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the post-sophomore fellowship in pathology at the University of Minnesota in terms of recruiting students into pathology specialties and fostering scholarly interest, as measured by career choices, publications, and interest in pathology. A retrospective analysis and survey revealed that approximately 55.6% of post-sophomore fellowship in pathology participants entered pathology specialties and that 69% of survey respondents indicated contributing to scholarly publications in the field of pathology during their post-sophomore fellowship in pathology year. Survey data revealed benefits of thepost-sophomore fellowship in pathology, including increased residency preparedness, letters of recommendation, and research engagement. Although the lack of a control group and potential selection bias limit the generalizability of these findings, our results suggest the post-sophomore fellowship in pathology model can attract medical students to pathology, foster research experiences, and better prepare students for residency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":44927,"journal":{"name":"Academic Pathology","volume":"12 3","pages":"Article 100211"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144813842","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}
