Abstract

In this time of significant change in pathology and medicine, pathology's future is uncertain. Many issues, including the emergence of molecular medicine, the demand for personalized medicine, confusing payment schemes, increasing governmental regulation, medical education challenges, administrative relationships, and new malpractice concerns, are critical topics pathologists are addressing and must continue to address in the future to best assure quality health care for patients.
