Welcome to the Ask a Pathologist Podcast: Innovators in Action! Host James Thackeray speaks with Dr. Jared Szymanski, a board-certified pathologist and a key founder of Lumea digital pathology. As an early adopter of digital technology in clinical practice, Dr. Szymanski offers invaluable insights from his extensive experience.

Dr. Szymanski shares his journey to becoming a digital pathology pioneer. He offers top tips for pathology fellowships:
- Always do a fellowship: Specializing provides a significant career advantage.
- Consider digital's impact: Fields susceptible to AI automation (like hematopathology) might be less appealing than those requiring nuanced human interpretation.
- Embrace informatics: Digital skills are crucial for future success.
He then details the benefits and challenges of digital pathology:
- Unmatched lifestyle and efficiency: Digital sign-out, often on an iPad, offers immense flexibility and faster case completion.
- High confidence in technology: Dr. Szymanski finds digital pathology for small biopsies and prostate cases as good as, or better than, glass microscopy.
- Enhanced collaboration and patient care: Instant digital consults dramatically reduce turnaround times for second opinions, directly improving patient outcomes.
Looking ahead, Dr. Szymanski predicts pathology will be unrecognizable in 10 years, with AI handling routine tasks. He urges pathologists to embrace this change, focusing on developing unique human skills like management and complex problem-solving to thrive in an AI-driven future.
