Here at The Pathologist, we like to think that we offer a platform for laboratory medicine professionals to have important conversations. That has happened many times within our pages – from the merits of prostate-specific antigen testing to assays for PD-L1 testing. Now, the focus turns to autopsy requirements for residents; click here for Michael Multan’s original letter and read an important response below. And, if you want to start – or join in on – a conversation of your own, never hesitate to get in touch!

Yours, Michael Schubert, Editor
