Pathology ERAS trends

If we could just flip the numbers and look more like Radiology...
Not bad. Med students certainly woke up to the EM scam.

Can you elaborate please? Just curious. Thanks.
Working evenings/nights/holidays many days of the month isn’t a recipe for long-term health or happiness. It’s something that’s fun in your 20’s, I admit. But, then you get older and the excitement wears off real quickly. Also, add critically ill patients, traumas, and psychiatric patients on top of the bad hours and you have a recipe for rapid burnout.
Path ain’t easy, but it’s something you can get better and more efficient at with time, and you have pretty reasonable control of your hours. Most pathologists don’t work many holidays, and they certainly don’t work many evenings or nights.
I think this is a good sign for the field.
Note trend in rad onc
Many in this field are voicing opposition that program are overtraining. US applicants falling off quite a bit.

Is the spike in radiology and pathology USG applicants a result of the pandemic?

And no drunks swearing and spitting at you while you try to sew them up and they keep dumping your sterile setup.
The way some of these a**h***s we’re dealt with in Chicago in the 70’s would make todays Drs., admins, regulators, etc cringe. ( and no one is proud of it but it was a profoundly different time. Smoking in patient rooms, etc.). Think 3-0 nylon, curved needle, gurney, bedsheet, earlobe, Cook County….

I suspect that it is. COVID put a lot of pathology services front and center, and likely got a larger group of students interested in the field. The upswing in job availability also didn't hurt.
EM went into the crapper because of the job market. No doubt about it. They are fighting it out with rad onc for the worst.
Path has a long way to go but the recent job market definitely helped.

‘Em is in a death spiral. Buyer beware.
