February 2023 Issue of The Pathologist

In January/February’s issue of The Pathologist, trot across the globe in the first ever pathology workforce visual heatmap! But some questions arise: where does availability fall short, and how do we address the issue of equity? Plus much more: a Q&A with Sir Jonathan Van-Tam and Professor Mike Osborn; the genetic mechanisms that influenced the Black Death; how we can make a leap from “digital” to “digitizing” pathology; understanding pathology leadership through a unique theory; and an interview with Sylvia Asa, consultant in endocrine pathology at Case Western Reserve University and University Health Network, Toronto, Canada.
