Frequently asked questions
Should I specify AP-only, CP-only, or combined practice?
Yes, clearly indicate whether you're trained and practicing in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, or both. This is crucial information for employers.
How do I highlight my subspecialty expertise?
Prominently feature any fellowship training (dermatopathology, hematopathology, cytopathology, etc.) and emphasize your experience in that subspecialty area.
Should I include case volumes or turnaround times?
Yes, if you have this data. Include information about case volumes, types of specimens, and any quality metrics like turnaround times or diagnostic accuracy rates.
What about molecular and genetic testing experience?
Definitely include experience with molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and other specialized techniques. This expertise is increasingly valuable.
Should I mention laboratory leadership or administrative roles?
Absolutely. Laboratory director roles, quality assurance responsibilities, and administrative experience are important and should be highlighted prominently.
