Tell Me, Doctor…
To keep pace with medicine’s future, pathologists need to develop much better communication skills – with great urgency
"Communication is everything – whether via a pathology report, a test result, a phone call or email to a colleague, a chance meeting with an administrator in the hall, or a conference room discussion. Communication is written words, eye contact, tone of voice, body language, dress and appearance, and much more – and it’s something all physicians should strive to improve. For pathologists – traditionally office-bound, glass slide-reading diagnostic physicians – improved communication is unquestionably the key to our future success in today’s evolving world of molecular medicine, team-focused patient care, and payment for quality."
