![]() ![]() If I recall correctly, in google's release last year, specialists in large centers still outperform AI's.Īs was the case with IBM Watson, there will be the question of liability / malpractice if AI's make incorrect calls (which they will, given they they are trained by human beings, who inherently will make some mistakes). With that said, on paper (and in an increasing number of articles) it theoretically is possible to develop AI assistants / automated annotators for human review that perform at near a community pathologist level. ![]() The field is a ways off from a RCT with outcomes data comparing 'AI' vs 'Specialist', which would be level 1 evidence showing to go one way or another. There are increasingly startups / efforts to use AI/machine learning in pathology. Pathologists take academic positions because they enjoy research & teaching or want to be a subspecialized expert in a particular organ or system.Įdit: Specifically, refer to this blog post/series: ĭisclaimer academic/not a pathologist, but spent 6 years doing grad school with one as my supervisor. If you are geographically and professionally flexible, it should also not be too difficult to land a decent job.Īre most pathologists professors/researchers? - No, most pathologist jobs are in the community practice setting and involve primarily clinical work. Is the field competitive? - No, it is easy for a quality candidate to match to a top residency. The sensationalist mainstream media will have you believe that we are already obsolete, but it is far from the truth. This guy explains really well the current situation with AI as it pertains to Radiology, and will give you a sense of how far this tech is from real clinical use. my crystal ball is cloudy, but I think at least decades before the technology gets to the point where pathologist jobs are replaced. We are not currently being replaced by robots. ![]() The automation problem is not very high on the list of concerns our field faces. I think your friend is misinformed and giving you advice based on rumor rather than fact. She also said that most pathologist have to get a job as a professor on the side Or need to be doing research since there are no jobs for them? ![]() Would you agree that pathologists can be replaced by automation, almost just like radiologists, Since there are softwares that can recognize diseases just by putting the slides into some “black box” and anyone could do thatĪny sort of answers are greatly appreciated and again I have no intention of offending anyone all I want is more information about the field Will anyone here be willing to explain what exactly pathologists do that the techs can’t, and is not replaceable by robots? To be honest I don’t care about the respect part, I’m more worried about the “everything is automated”īut I know my fear is due to lack of knowledge in the actual working environment Immediately she told me not to do it because the field is already being automated to a point where all they need is technicians, and the doctors don’t get the same amount of respect as other branches I’m currently working on getting my MD, and told my friend that I’m interested in becoming a pathologist Hi all, I’ll make this short, with 0 intention of offending anyone ![]()
