Abstract
Pathology residency training has been criticized for having too little opportunities for resident autonomy. As graduate medical education moves to competency-based models measuring competency and giving autonomy for specific tasks will be important. To determine how much autonomy residents are currently granted we surveyed pathology residency directors with regard to a list of usual pathology tasks and compared responses with those of a similar survey from 2018. Among the 29 programs whose directors responded, we found a considerable range within which some programs give much autonomy and others very little. Most programs did not describe measuring competency before granting performance of specific activities. We urge that restrictive programs examine the more permissive programs to see how they can move toward granting more autonomy.
期刊介绍：
Academic Pathology is an open access journal sponsored by the Association of Pathology Chairs, established to give voice to the innovations in leadership and management of academic departments of Pathology. These innovations may have impact across the breadth of pathology and laboratory medicine practice. Academic Pathology addresses methods for improving patient care (clinical informatics, genomic testing and data management, lab automation, electronic health record integration, and annotate biorepositories); best practices in inter-professional clinical partnerships; innovative pedagogical approaches to medical education and educational program evaluation in pathology; models for training academic pathologists and advancing academic career development; administrative and organizational models supporting the discipline; and leadership development in academic medical centers, health systems, and other relevant venues. Intended authorship and audiences for Academic Pathology are international and reach beyond academic pathology itself, including but not limited to healthcare providers, educators, researchers, and policy-makers.
