- Prior surveys on pathology workforce indicate varying results, with some suggesting stability and others predicting a shortage of pathologists in the future.
- A dynamic modeling tool was developed to analyze the supply of pathologists' services and forecast changes due to market forces and technology until 2030.
- Projected data show a significant decline in practicing pathologists from 18,000 in 2010 to about 14,000 by 2030, creating a net deficit of over 5,700 full-time equivalent pathologists if current trends continue.
