title: Megatrends in pathology practice: implications for residency training. Ninth Conference for pathology residency program directors--a summary.
abstract: The participants at the Ninth Conference for Pathology Residency Program Directors clearly identified the important trends, the problems, and the opportunities now confronted by the specialty of pathology. Equally important, the speakers identified changes that should be incorporated into residency programs if we are to provide the training and education for practice in a changing medical environment. Evaluations of the program by the participants indicated it had been a valuable conference and it should be maintained as a part of each annual American Society of Clinical Pathologists/College of American Pathologists Fall Meeting.
