Academic Pathology is the official open-access journal of the Association of Pathology Chairs, established to give voice to innovations in education, practice, and management from academic departments of pathology and laboratory medicine, with the potential for broad impact on medicine, medical research, and the delivery of care. Academic Pathology addresses methods for improving patient care (clinical informatics, genomic testing and data management, lab automation, electronic health record integration, and annotate biorepositories); best practices in inter-professional clinical partnerships; innovative pedagogical approaches to medical education and educational program evaluation in pathology; models for training academic pathologists and advancing academic career development; administrative and organizational models supporting the discipline; and leadership development in academic medical centers, health systems, and other relevant venues. Intended authorship and audiences for Academic Pathology are international and reach beyond academic pathology itself, including but not limited to healthcare providers, educators, researchers, and policy-makers. Academic Pathology publishes original research, reviews, brief reports, and educational cases. All articles are rigorously peer-reviewed for relevance and quality.
