Understanding the Pathology Job Market: An Analysis of 2,330 Pathology Job Advertisements from 2013-2017 Debra L. Zynger, MD Associate Professor Director of Urologic Pathology Department of Pathology The Ohio State University Medical Center Nat Pernick, MD President PathologyOutlines.com, Inc.

Background There has been a downward trend in the number of pathology residency applicants

Background 37% of pathology residency spots filled by US MDs Lowest of any specialty Downward trend over the past 5 years Only specialty with a downward trend National Resident Matching Program. Results and Data: Main Residency Match. http://www.nrmp.org/

20% of pathology applicants: pathology is not their 1st choice of specialty 1st choice for 95% of US MD applicants 1st choice for 74% of nonUS MD applicants 83% of matched applicants into pathology applied to only pathology

Associated with a highest career choice regret during the 2nd year of residency: Pathology 33% Anesthesiology 21% Dyrbye LN, Burke SE, Hardeman RR, Herrin J, Wittlin NM, Yeazel M, Dovidio JF, Cunningham B, White RO, Phelan SM, Satele DV, Shanafelt TD, van Ryn M. Association of Clinical Specialty With Symptoms of Burnout and Career Choice Regret Among US Resident Physicians. JAMA. 2018 Sep 18;320(11):1114-1130.

Background It has been suggested that decreased dedicated pathology courses in the 1st and 2nd years of medical school is a contributor to decreased recruitment No correlation between pathology coursework time and choice of pathology Fields with no dedicated courses such as Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation are increasing competitiveness and fields such as Dermatology, Radiation Oncology, Plastic Surgery, Urology and ENT remain competitive National Resident Matching Program. http://www.nrmp.org/.

Background The United States pathology job market has been a source of concern, controversy and confusion which may be impacting recruitment into the field

Oversupply of Pathologists Results: Radiology residency positions have increased since 1998 despite a downturn in the job market. This expansion coincides with a decreasing percentage of positions filled by domestic graduates. A similar trend has been seen in pathology, a notoriously over-supplied specialty. Conversely, other specialties have maintained their proportion of domestic graduates by way of limited supply or implicit demand. Oversupply of Pathologists The saturation of labor in pathology has been chronicled since the 1990s. The NRMP trend in pathology resembles radiology. Post Graduate Year 1 (PGY-1) pathology positions increased by 17 per year between 2001 (363) and 2015 (605). USMGs matching in pathology remained below 65% during the same time period. Many trainees in pathology undertake two or more fellowships. The American Society for Clinical Pathology 2014 Fellowship Job Market Survey reported that fellowship was sought by 96% of residents, with 40% of residents and 45% of fellows planning multiple fellowships.

Background There is a paucity of data on the job market with information predominately from graduating trainee surveys

Aim Investigate the pathology job market utilizing a large repository of pathology job advertisements

Methods Job advertisements for pathologists posted at www.PathologyOutlines.com from 2013 to 2017 were reviewed Locum tenens, residency, fellowship and non-pathologist positions were excluded

Results 2013 to 2017: 92% within the United States 7% within Canada 2330 job advertisements posted 92% within the United States 7% within Canada Zynger DL, Pernick N.

Results Job ads were posted throughout the year but most frequently in 4th quarter of the calendar year (October-December): Q4 (30%) > Q3 > Q2 > Q1 (22%) Zynger DL, Pernick N.

Conclusion Our analysis supports a stable pathology job market during the past 5 year period within the United States There was no evidence of increasing “word-of-mouth” offerings that were not posted or of a shrinking job market There may be an imbalance between number of positions open in academia and number of candidates seeking academic positions Most jobs require subspecialty expertise There are notable differences in desired subspecialties between academia and private practice
