This is our quarterly report on pathologists based on our Worldwide Directory of Pathologists. It provides information of interest to pathologists that is not available anywhere else, to our knowledge. We are initially focusing on pathologists in the U.S. and Canada. We are excluding pathologists who requested the inactivation of their profiles.Totals are current as of 5 December 2024, unless otherwise indicated.

The quality of this data will improve as more pathologists review and update their profiles. Pathologists, please review your pathology profile this month, when you move institutions and at least annually. Make sure the Title (text), Status (trainee, staff or retired), Year of birth and Gender are completed. The Year of birth and Gender will only be used for summary totals in this report; individual responses will not be posted anywhere or made available to anyone.

Please click to add or revise your profile or use our Name Search to review your profile.

We added 1,662 profiles in Q3 of 2024 for a total of 32,400 pathologist profiles completed as of 5 December 2024. We believe the Directory is > 90% complete for all U.S. & Canadian pathologists.

Specialties and subspecialties

We prefer pathologists to only list specialties or subspecialties in which they received specific training or have a particular interest. Pathologists that review almost all specimens should list anatomic or clinical pathology. Most pathologists should list at most 3 - 4 options.

Anatomic	19,576
Clinical	16,463
Cytopathology	5,089
Hematopathology	4,423
Molecular & genetics	2,807
Dermatopathology	2,664
GI / liver	2,198

Ambassadors

As of November 2024, we have ambassadors for 62 institutions / regions. Ambassadors help ensure that the Directory includes all practicing pathologists for their group (unless they opt out), tell us when pathologists come and go and otherwise assist in making the Directory as accurate as possible. More information about being an ambassador is here. If interested, please contact Amal@PathologyOutlines.com.
