Transcription
Residents empowered to lead. A CAP Foundation Award will take you far beyond the laboratory. And new clues to what drives the autoimmune disease lupus. These stories and more coming up. Welcome to the Path News Network Daily Edition from the College of American Pathologists. I'm Elizabeth McMahon. It's Monday, November 17th, and here are the headlines. Any seasoned pathologist will tell you that their field goes far beyond slides and specimens and often pulls them into active involvement at the institutional, state, and national levels. The CAP Foundation's Leadership Development Award for Pathology Residents gives early career pathologists a leg up to tackle important issues across their field. December 2nd is the deadline to apply for the spring award cycle, which includes up to $1,200 in funding. for the CAP Spring Residence Forum in San Antonio and the Pathologist Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. Dr. Carlos Lopez, a resident at Tulane University, was a 2025 Leadership Awardee and came away energized from his trip to the Hill.
Standing on Capitol Hill, speaking about the broken physician reimbursement model and realized that our voices matter right now. I left D.C. feeling empowered, connected, and more committed than ever to bring a voice for pathologists, both in the lab or in the field.
Find more information about the Leadership Development Award and the application link in our show notes. In a world where AI, remote work, and efficiencies are driving the modern workplace, how can pathologists feel connection and creativity in their work? It's a question that CAP member Dr. Alae Kawam contemplates in a new commentary for the Pathologist magazine. Dr. Kawam, a fellow in genitourinary pathology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, writes that many medical professionals are feeling disconnected from each other and their work. She proposes a future where technology, especially AI and digital pathology, connect people. If that sounds counterintuitive, Dr. Kawam argues that AI's capability to relieve pathologists of some repetitive tasks leaves more time to make connections with clinicians, patients, and teams. When we weave together those seemingly opposing ideas, Dr. Kawam says, quote, we don't just build better workflows, we build better places to work. Scientists are a step closer to understanding why the Epstein-Barr virus is connected to the common form of the autoimmune disease lupus. Researchers from Stanford University's Division of Immunology and Rheumatology developed an Epstein-Barr-specific single-cell RNA sequencing platform and used it to demonstrate that infection by the virus reprograms the body's rare B cells that drive autoimmunity. Their findings in the journal Science Translational Medicine provide a clearer mechanistic basis for how Epstein-Barr can activate and impact the body's immune system. The virus has also been targeted as a possible driver of diseases such as multiple sclerosis and long COVID. And finally, if you need some encouragement to start your week, take a listen to the new episode of the CAP Foundation's podcast, Beyond the Test, Connecting Communities Through Pathology. The latest installment explores the importance of early detection and how free cancer screenings through the CAP's See, Test, & Treat program are helping save lives. You'll hear from Diane Duggan, an uninsured Boston nanny who enrolled in the program and received testing that eventually identified breast cancer. During her treatment, Duggan learned about the crucial role her pathology team played in her diagnosis and care. The podcast is one in a series exploring how pathologists are helping bridge health disparities and improve outcomes around the world. Find the link in our show notes. That's all for today's Daily Edition. Don't miss our Advocacy Newsletter on Tuesdays and our Weekly Edition Newsletter on Thursdays. We'll be back tomorrow at 5 a.m. Eastern.
