In this episode of PathPulse, James is joined by Dr. Matthew Cecchini, a celebrated pathologist, educator, and a Top 100 Trailblazer recognized by The Pathologist magazine. Their conversation dives deep into the profound impact of digital pathology and artificial intelligence (AI) on the field, moving beyond mere clinical application to explore how these technologies are revolutionizing pathology education.

Dr. Cecchini outlines the challenges facing traditional pathology training—from its reduced role in medical school curricula to the historical barriers of glass slides. He then details his innovative work, leveraging off-the-shelf AI models and unconventional teaching methods (including creating original music!) to make pathology more accessible, engaging, and relevant for the next generation of physicians.

The core of the discussion explores two critical aspects: how to recruit and properly train future pathologists, and how to redefine the pathologist's role in an AI-augmented world. This episode offers a compelling vision for pathology in 2035, shifting the focus from repetitive slide hunting to becoming essential managers of the diagnostic process and key educators for the entire clinical team. Dive right in!
