Name: Pathologist-Patient Consults - Insight into a Unique Care Model by CAPcasts from the College of American Pathologists
Duration: 25 min 30 s
Description: Emily Green, MD, FCAP leads a discussion about pathologist-patient consultations with Favia Dubyk, MD, FCAP and Lija Joseph, MD, FCAP. Both are pathologists with unique practices where they interact directly with patients around their pathology results.

Forty-two percent of physicians reported feeling burned out last year, according to Medscape's 2021 Physician Burnout Report published earlier this year. And not surprisingly, COVID 19 appears to have increased levels of physician burnout.  While 69% of physicians said they were somewhat or very happy in 2020 before the pandemic started, this figure fell to 49 percent during the pandemic, according to that same Medscape survey. 

Like most physicians, many pathologists find it challenging to balance professional and personal responsibilities. While this balance can be particularly difficult for pathologists early in their careers, there are some methods to improve efficiencies both at home and at work, as Yasmeen Butt, MD, FCAP, and Jaclyn Rudzinski, MD, FCAP discuss in this CAPcast episode.

Technical and investigative advances have greatly expanded pathologists’ knowledge in the field of hematology. To help pathologists and laboratorians keep up with these changes, the CAP Press has just released the second edition of the Color Atlas of Hematology, an expanded version of the first with new content focusing on peripheral blood pathology. In this CAPcast, senior editor Dr. Eric Glassy and co-editor Dr. Katherine Galagan discuss this edition’s new content and how pathologists and laboratorians can best implement this vast resource of information into their practice.

Both networking and publishing are important for academic pathologists to succeed, according to Dr. Roseann Wu, a staff pathologist and assistant professor of clinical pathology & laboratory medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Health System and Perelman School of Medicine in Philadelphia. In this CAPcast, Dr. Wu discusses why networking and publishing are so vital and how membership in the CAP can benefit academic pathologists. Dr. Wu’s recently wrote a blog on the issue, "CAP Membership for the Academic Pathologist," now posted on CAP.org: https://capatholo.gy/2AqanZA.
