Why are so many pathologists still afraid of going digital? 

In this USCAP special episode sponsored by Muse Microscopy, I talk with Dr. Sarah Dry, Chair of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at UCLA, about real-world adoption, AI fear, and how change is best managed when it's people-led.

From her early digital research lab in 2007 to pioneering innovative workflows at UCLA today, Dr. Dry knows how direct-to-digital imaging and AI can enhance, not replace, our work.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• [00:01:00] Fear of change and pathologist pushback
• [00:03:00] Direct-to-digital imaging & frozen sectios
• [00:05:00] Redefining histotech roles amid tech shortages
• [00:08:00] CAP standards, tissue storage & digital-first futures
• [00:12:00] Specialty-specific barriers to adoption
• [00:15:00] Why AI is a pathologist extender, not a threat
• [00:18:00] What AI can automate—cell counts, GI screenings & reports
• [00:20:00] Managing change and getting early adopters onboard
