The future of laboratory medicine hinges on the development of its workforce, particularly pathologists and medical laboratory scientists, who must blend technical expertise with human-centered skills. Leadership in this evolving field involves navigating complex healthcare systems, effective communication, and advocacy for laboratory value. Mentorship is vital for cultivating curiosity and innovation in emerging leaders. Ultimately, leadership is defined by purpose — advancing medical science and serving patients — rather than hierarchy, ensuring a diverse and equitable future in healthcare.
