| description | Declining numbers of hospital autopsies performed in US pathology residency training programs and perceived declining practice of autopsy by many pathologists has caused stakeholder organizations to reassess the role of autopsy training in pathology residency.

Accepting the report of the Working Group, the Association of Pathology Chairs here publishes its position paper on the proposed recommendations. |
