Few residents receive training in informatics, but almost every laboratory faces informatics challenges. These include installing new software or a new instrument, maintaining privacy, protecting laboratory data security, and more. This fall, the CAP is introducing a new Informatics Case-Based Education (ICBE) program (https://capatholo.gy/3m3lSuz), which is designed to help pathologists get ready to succeed in their careers by providing relevant, practical education on informatics topics they commonly encounter. In this CAPcast interview, Mandy O’Leary, MD, FCAP, a member of the CAP Informatics Committee, explains the value that this program brings to pathologists. Dr. O’Leary worked to develop this new program with Dr. John Sinard, its key architect.

The incidence of genetic mutations increases with age. Age-related mutations in hematopoietic stem cells in the absence of a hematologic malignancy is termed clonal hematopoiesis, or CH. While CH took the hematology field by storm several years ago, there is increased awareness of the identification of CH not just underlying hematologic neoplasms, but in the background of solid tumors as well, explains Dr. Annette Kim in this CAPcast. Dr. Kim, who is a member of the CAP’s Personalized Healthcare Committee, wrote an article on this topic that was recently posted to the Precision Medicine section of CAP.org (https://capatholo.gy/3A9L8ow).

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.
