What invasive procedures are you planning to do?
While pathologists traditionally are assumed to not interact directly with patients, this impression proves false when, for example, a patient needs a bone marrow biopsy for examination. The question really wants to know what your complication rates have been in the past, in hopes there will be no medicolegal risks for the institution in their future because of you.
"My invasive procedures are limited, but I always follow my specialty guidelines to satisfy all criteria for such procedures, qualifying both to the need for the patient and to supporting my ability to perform them. And any of them are done in cooperation with the treating physician as part of his team for a particular patient. My complication rates are within acceptable standards, and I can cite the actual numbers, if asked, when I apply for the specific invasive procedures as part of your vetting process."
