I'm really curious about this topic. During residency, we are frequently exposed to formalin and radioisotopes, such as when cutting sentinel lymph nodes, performing autopsies on patients treated with radiation, or using the Faxitron during breast specimen grossing. Could you share any thoughts on this? Does your program or GME provide informations about the risks of formalin and radioisotope exposure during pregnancy, particularly if a resident is planning to start a family? (The risks are likely minimal, but there is still some level of risk present.) Do they offer alternatives to reduce exposure in case of pregnancy? Additionally, as residents are often the most exposed along with staff, does your institution provide any sort of insurance if health issues arise related to these exposures? #PathResident #PathResidents #Path2Path #MedTwitter #Pathology #MedStudent #pathologist

Calling all pathologists! I’m conducting a quick, anonymous survey (<5 min) on FERTILITY experiences in our field. Your input can help spark an important conversation on how to better support our community. redcap.link/vio15g6n #pathology #pathologist

40% of physicians say that fragmented, missing information on path reports is a barrier to accurately diagnosing cancer. How to improve path reports? Listen to this CAPcast with @DartmouthHitch's Dr. J.Pettus: capatholo.gy/2zHyUHP #pathologists

Among my favorite #ChoosingWisely rec: Do not order a frozen section on a pathology specimen if the result will not affect immediate patient management.
