The College of American Pathologists, the Association for Pathology Informatics and the Association of Pathology Chairs have announced the joint launch of a new clinical informatics curriculum for pathology residents.
The new program, called Pathology Informatics Essentials for Residents, aims to prepare pathologists for a future of data-driven medicine and meet the requirements of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
"Information management will continue to play a crucial role in pathology," said Walter Henricks, MD, medical director of Pathology Informatics at the Cleveland Clinic and co-leader of the PIER working group, in a news release. "By developing PIER, we are empowering pathologists in clinical informatics with the knowledge and skill sets necessary to meet the demands of the current and future healthcare environment."
