"Based on anecdotal evidence, the current decline [US medical students] may be related to changes in the undergraduate medical school curriculum over the past decade that have resulted in decreased exposure to pathology and pathologists, a negative perception of the current pathology job market, and negative feedback about the specialty posted on social media platforms."
"Respondents who used the internet/social media to research pathology were asked to list the sites used. Thirty-five (73%) of 48 respondents commented. Sites utilized included Student Doctor Network (26%, N = 9 of 35), American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC; 20%, N = 7 of 35), CAP (20%, N = 7 of 35), Google (20%, N = 7 of 35), and Reddit (17%, N = 6 of 35)."
