Our guest this week is Dan Milner, MD, MSc, Chief Medical Officer of the ASCP.
Dr. Milner has been heavily involved in pathology capacity building in many countries and, most notably, led the team that built anatomic pathology laboratories in Rwanda and Haiti for advanced cancer diagnostics.
Before joining ASCP, Dr. Milner spent 10 years at Harvard where he was the primary lead for infectious disease consultations in AP and CP; and was the recipient of numerous research grants and the author of over 100 publications.
We’re talking about the global practice of pathology - challenges and opportunities in implementing laboratory systems in both the developed and developing world.
We seem to be at a unique position to take advantage of improvements in technology and digital pathology to add enormous value to the lives of the doctors and patients we serve as pathologists.
We’ll talk about what the future holds for the profession of pathology. What is the truth about reports of the much talked about impending shortage of pathologists? Will technology make much of what we do obsolete? Who will be the beneficiaries of new applications in artificial intelligence? Will pathologists become the conductors of the orchestra of medicine?
