Transcription
A gap between excitement and reality in AI, and introducing medical students to the specialty of pathology. These stories and more coming up. This is Path News Network Daily Edition from the College of American Pathologists. I'm Nancy Johnson. It's Monday, November 10th. The new CAP president shares his vision for pathology in his inaugural CAP Today column. Dr. Qihui Zhai, who goes by Jim, is the first international medical graduate to lead the CAP. Dr. Zhai reflects on his journey from China to Shreveport, Louisiana, where he's on the faculty of LSU Health. Dr. Zhai says he has always focused on research, teaching, and patient care, but now he is focused on listening. Quote, we are pathologists, but we are patients too. And we all have valuable opinions about what's working and what isn't in our field. Look for his columns every month in CAP Today. A major leap towards AI-assisted diagnosis and decision-making. A story in Nature Medicine shows scientists have built a new artificial intelligence model called Titan to help study disease from tissue slides. The system was trained on more than 300,000 medical images and hundreds of thousands of computer-generated descriptions. Titan can look at pathology slides, find patterns, and even write short medical reports. Researchers say it beats older AI tools and could make diagnosing cancer and rare diseases faster and more accurate. The CAP is tackling a major gap in AI adoption with its new AI Playground. a hands-on platform where pathologists can safely test artificial intelligence tools before using them in real-world practice. The CAP's Dr. Rajendra Singh told Pathology News, quote, AI is everywhere, at conferences, in journals, in the news, but when we go back to our departments, AI is nowhere. He described a disconnect between excitement and practice. Plans include expanding access to the platform. for oncologists and other specialists to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. And finally, how do we get medical students interested in pathology? The CAP is hosting a free webinar this Thursday, November 13th, called The Power of Pathology, How Pathologists Shape Patient Care. The session will be led by the CAP's Dr. Kamran Mirza and Dr. Samreen Fathima. Med students will learn how pathologists diagnose disease, guide treatment, and collaborate with other clinicians to improve patient outcomes. It's a chance to explore the role pathology plays in healthcare and the wide range of career opportunities. That's all for today. Be sure to check the show notes for more information on today's stories. Watch your email inbox for more news like this in the CAP's Advocacy Newsletter every Tuesday and our Weekly Edition Newsletter on Thursdays. We're back tomorrow at 5 a.m. Eastern for another episode of The Daily Edition. I'm Nancy Johnson. Have a great day.
