About Brittany Teeter

Biggest challenge in pathology? The biggest challenge facing the field right now is the lack of qualified professionals both entering and choosing to stay in the field of laboratory medicine, which leads to issues such as attrition and burnout.

Book recommendation? “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. It is a great book. Everyone should read it! 

Attracting talent… To attract talented scientists to the field, we need to make lab-related roles more relatable and appealing to the next generation. For example, we show how skills in gaming and coding could translate into success as an LIS (laboratory information system) specialist. By drawing connections between their existing interests and the exciting opportunities in laboratory medicine, we can inspire a new wave of professionals to explore and thrive in this field.
