What Do You Want? – The Pathologist Reader Survey
As the year draws to a close we’re feeling introspective. And so, we’re keen to hear our valued readers’ (that’s you) thoughts on our 2023 coverage of everything pathology to help us shape our output for 2024.
The Pathologist exists to report on the research, innovations, personalities, and policies that shape pathology – but to do that we need your help. We’re here to spotlight the stories you care about, the stories that need to be told.
That means we need to hear your thoughts. We need all of your expert opinions on pathology and our place within it. Do you want to see more long reads? More interviews? What trends do you know are lurking in molecular pathology? What exciting developments are going on in the world of technology aren’t being discussed? What frustrates/inspires/excites/shocks you in this big, important field of ours?
Below you’ll find a questionnaire that gives you the chance to make your voice heard. Remember: the more insights you offer, the better we can serve the pathology community.
Here at The Pathologist, we are looking forward to an inspiring 2024 – filled with opportunities for personal and professional development.
The Pathologist team is constantly striving to enhance its offerings to better serve our community of pathologists and laboratory medicine professionals around the world. As we gear up to start 2024, we are embarking on a new offering that aims to enrich your professional journey: Email Courses. Email Courses are a series of educational modules (typically 6–8) delivered by email, free of charge, with a pre-determined frequency (for example, daily, biweekly, weekly).
We want to ensure that these courses align with your expectations and aspirations for professional development for the new year. Would you spare a few minutes of your time to share your thoughts through this brief survey?

The Power List 2023: Storybook Edition
Welcome to The Pathologist Power List 2023, featuring the tales of 25 laboratory professionals – told in their own words
The 2023 iteration of our annual Power List is a veritable pathology anthology – a collection of topical, anatomical, and sometimes comical stories from the lab. After hundreds of submissions, our expert judging panel believed these final 25 tales to be symbolic of the amazing work that goes on day in, day out across the field – spanning multiple topics, subspecialties, and continents.
When brainstorming for a theme for this year’s Power List, we wanted to flip the idea on its head somewhat. We wanted to shake things up and get to the heart of the laboratory experience. And who would be better equipped for the task than the people who live and breathe pathology and laboratory medicine every day? And so, we asked for your tales from the lab – the highs, the lows, the unexpected twists. The final result signals that each and every person working in the lab has a unique story to tell.
Whether inspiring or interesting, heart-warming or funny (thank you, Mr Head-Holes), we believe that the Power List 2023: Storybook Edition has something for everyone – while shining a spotlight on the important work that you all do.
