Paying pathologists as a W2 vs. 1099
I’ve heard of some groups, not just in Pathology, pay their pathologists on a 1099. What are the pros and cons of this for the employee pathologist?
As a 1099, an employer can more easily fire a pathologist right vs if they were on a W2?
With a 1099, the employer saves a good chunk of money as they don’t have to pay taxes for their employee.
Anything else should one know before signing a contract where you will be a 1099?
If you are in a practice and you function just like an employee...

Doctor of Clinical Laboratory Science (DCLS) filling Medical Director roles
Mass General Brigham on LinkedIn: We welcome Ryan Mize, DCLS, MHA and Daniel Dees, DCLS, CC(NRCC), MLS(ASCP)… | 39 comments
I guess DCLS (Doctor of Clinical Laboratory Science) graduates are now able to work as pathology medical directors. Not laboratory supervisors, but MEDICAL DIRECTORS...! For those who don't know, DCLS programs are online programs designed for medical lab scientists/medical technologists. These programs aren't really comparable to traditional Ph.D. programs as...

What should students be thinking about when considering applying neuro?
I'm a US-MD student who just finished their neuro rotation (and a neuro + path research year) I really liked it, but it is competing with my interest in pathology. Both have been my interests since day 1 of med school.
I love neuro for the flexibility. Being able to work anywhere and everywhere. ICU, outpatient, inpatient, rehab, telehealth. Wide range of fellowships. Ability for good lifestyle post-residency. It has the most interesting cases in medicine by a mile. Feels very...

What should students be thinking about when considering applying path?
I'm a US-MD student who just finished their neuro rotation (and a neuro + path research year) I really liked it, but it is competing with my interest in pathology. Both have been my interests since day 0 of med school.
When it comes to passion, I think I love the workflow of path more. I like the bench, driving the scope, frozens, leadership opportunities/lab admin, the little details. The kicker is the lack of flexibility kind of kills me. Less employable outside of large hospitals and...

Aspiring Clinical Pathologist
Hey there!
I am currently a 2nd year veterinary student and have unfortunately encountered a small rough patch in my life (diagnosed with MS, my mom having cancer, transferring vet schools) leading to my grades not being exactly where I want them to be. I would say that I should end up with all B's (hopefully) this semester - but with the added stress from my friends since I am not performing as well as them has me further in a rut. I LOVE pathology. Am I super good at it? NO! But I love...

California makes forensic path P.C.
California, with the blessing of the CAP, has now made it ILLEGAL to use the term “excited delirium” on a death certificate or in an autopsy report because it is “racially charged”, as of 1Jan 24. I have an effective and concise work-around: “human being (no race or gender problem) who was physical-mass-challenged at 150 kg (can’t say obese) who was expressing their rights (can’t we all) by enjoying methamphetamine and experiencing tachycardia (225 b.p.m.) and systolic blood pressure of...

What do academic transfusion medicine pathologists do during off service weeks, or even during the day?
For AP you typically are finishing up cases on off service weeks or you have frozens weeks. For TM when you are off service what do you do typically? Additionally on service what does the typical day look like? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Crap jobs in Pathology
Guys listen to this coroner guy. He knows what’s up. From my experience here’s what entails crap in pathology and believe me there’s a lot of crap.
Crap jobs in pathology:
1. Low pay, low volume jobs.
2. Jobs with NO benefits.
3. Low pay in large cities (200-240K or maybe less).
4. Average Pathology pay but high workload. Having to take on more tasks but no extra pay.
Limited number of jobs even in this less than crappy job market. The key word here is LIMITED.
Please contribute...

Hours worked as a first year path resident
Hey guys, I'm applying for path residency as an IMG this year.
As an IMG I know beggars can't be choosers, but I was wondering what are some decent/good programs that don't/are less likely to have you working long hours as a first year and/or second year? I know specific services can have you working varying hours of course. For as much as I love pathology, I also love my hobbies and free time.
some path fellow at the hospital I go to mentioned when they interviewed at a hospital in...

OT vs SLP
Hi, I'm posting this in both the OT and SLP forums for feedback:
Can anyone give me some insight into the pros and cons of OT vs Speech (financial especially)?
Background: I’m a pre-OT student but feeling very lost. My college doesn’t really have any other students pursuing OT and my professors don’t know much about it so I am kind of muddling through it without much guidance.
When I first looked up OT in NY, I saw salaries that were around $90k. Now a few years later, I’m seeing OTs...
