NYU’s Rapid Digital Pathology Transformation: “Ripping the Band-Aid Off”
In this session, which was presented to the Panel of National Pathology Leaders’ Digital Pathology & AI Focus Group on September 30, 2025, Panelist Dr. Syed T. Hoda shares how NYU Langone Health achieved a full digital pathology transformation—eliminating glass slides entirely—in just one year. Detailing the strategic, technical, and cultural elements behind this rapid shift, Dr. Hoda outlines how strong leadership alignment, robust infrastructure investment, and deliberate change management enabled NYU to “rip the band-aid off” and reimagine pathology workflows from the ground up. Attendees will gain actionable insights into building scalable digital systems, managing resistance, and positioning pathology for future innovations like remote sign-out and AI integration.
