How do you believe the delivery of healthcare will evolve in the pathology practice setting?

"I'm confident that so many traditional practice settings will evolve into the future, and the pathology practice must be adaptable. With telemedicine and home care delivery models growing exponentially and patients taking a great liking to them, labs will need to change how they see patients and get samples. This still requires patients to come onsite or have specimens collected away from the clinic/hospital. The continual emergence of new technologies in precision medicine also brings the need for pathologists to embrace genomics as part of their practice. This is something I'm extremely excited about!"

Be prepared to talk in an educated manner about how you feel the delivery of care will improve over time. In the grand scheme of modern medicine, the pathology realm must continually adapt and innovate as viruses and bacteria change and subspecialty practices evolve. Before your pathology residency interviews, take the time to put some thought and research into a question like this and come prepared to knowledgeably discuss where you feel the field will go in the future.
