Pathology clinics are redefining the role of the pathologist by bringing diagnostic expertise directly to patients. This session will explore why pathology clinics matter, how they can be launched in practice, what has been learned from real-world experience, and where the model may go next.
Through background, practical steps, published literature, and personal experiences, attendees will gain an engaging and forward-looking view of how pathology clinics can strengthen communication, improve patient understanding, and expand the impact of pathology in patient-centered care.
A Q&A session will be held at the conclusion of the session
