Abstract
A new survey of manpower requirements in the community hospital and private laboratory practice of pathology has been completed and analyzed. The survey used a new instrument, the National Pathology Manpower Database, which will be useful in conducting longitudinal surveys. This instrument will permit organized pathology to monitor changes in pathology manpower needs in the years ahead, which are likely to be fraught with change. The results of this survey foretell a significant deficit of pathologists in community hospital and private laboratory practice within the next five years.Keywords
