On this episode Dr Rodney Rohde discusses his involvement with the ASCP's Blueprint for Action to address workforce shortages in the laboratory. He highlights the efforts of various organizations to create solutions and improve the situation, emphasizing that the workforce challenges existed prior to COVID-19 but were exacerbated by the pandemic. Dr. Rohde explains the importance of aligning titles and credentials across different organizations and programs to create a unified identity for medical laboratory scientists. Transitioning from various titles like CLS (Clinical Laboratory Scientist) to MLS (Medical Laboratory Scientist) can establish a clear and recognizable identity that reflects the rigorous education and critical role these professionals play in healthcare. The process of standardizing titles and credentials involves collaboration with professional organizations, regulatory bodies, and educational institutions. Dr. Rohde shares his journey of leading the effort to change the program name at Texas State University from CLS to MLS. This two-year process involved collecting data, engaging with faculty, alumni, and students, navigating institutional procedures, and obtaining approvals at various levels within the university.

Jeff Rhude is the VP of Technical Operations at Proscia. Today we discuss the use of cloud-based technologies in digital pathology. Cloud-based storage offers significant advantages over traditional on-premises solutions in the field of digital pathology. The episode highlights several key benefits that make cloud storage a compelling choice for storing sensitive patient data and large image files in pathology. Cloud-based storage offers superior data durability, security, and recovery capabilities. It also allows for access to the latest AI capabilities. AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, have already shown significant improvements in various industries, including healthcare. With cloud computing, Pathologists can leverage AI tools to enhance their diagnostic capabilities, streamline workflows, and improve patient outcomes. However, resistance to technology can lead to being left behind in a rapidly advancing field. So it is important to embrace technology to keep up with the rapidly changing pathology field.

The MyPathologyReport website was created by Dr. Jason Wasserman, a pathologist, with the goal of providing patients with a better understanding of their pathology reports. Dr. Wasserman recognized the need for patients to have access to clear and concise information about their diagnosis. Initially, the website started with a glossary of common pathology terms, such as atypia, dysplasia, and margins. It then expanded to include diagnostic articles that break down the different elements of a pathology report and provide more information about specific diagnoses. These articles were written with a focus on simplifying complex pathology terminology, making them accessible to patients. The feedback from patients has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the website's resources and assistance in understanding their reports. The website has also gained recognition from patient advocacy groups and medical organizations, who appreciate the effort to make pathology more accessible to patients.

In this episode, Olivia Josephsen and I take you step by step through how to get shadowing opportunities. While this is about pathologists assistants, these tips can be used in any laboratory profession. We explain how to find someone to shadow, and how to contact them. While shadowing, it is important to ask questions, and we tell you why. After shadowing you should follow up with the person you shadowed, especially if you intend to ask them for a letter of recommendation. Shadowing isn't all about the student either. Listen to find out how the person being shadowed can gain from it too. We talk about virtual shadowing, and how it is a good option to increase availability of shadowing opportunities. If you're an experienced PA who is open to being shadowed, add #PathAShadow to your social media so students can find you.
