What to Expect When You Start Signing Cases Out On Your Own

When pathologists train they are often monitored every step of the way, and don’t have the opportunity to sign out cases on their own. It’s nerve-wracking to sign out your first cases, explains Dr. Buu Duong in this CAPcast interview. Some common questions that go through the minds of new in practice pathologists can include when to ask for help, when to get review, how many questions are too many questions, and do you look like you don’t have a clue about what you’re doing? In this interview, Dr. Duong will discuss what pathologists need to know during this important transition, and important tips to gain confidence when you first start out in practice.
