I noticed that the PGY-1 positions increased from 335 in 2000 to 525 in 2006(>50%) according to the data from NRMP. No other specialties have this kind of expansion. Could this be due to the change of pathology resident training from 5 years to 4 years which leads to more recruitment for each program? Currently, the job market for pathologist is fine, but does the pathology practice need so many extra pathologists in the near future?
