94: Dr. Aleks Zuraw on "People of Pathology" Podcast | Digital Pathology 101 Book

This episode was originally recorded for  "People of Pathology Podcast" and I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Dennis Strenk after I have published my book "Digital Pathology 101 - All you need to know to start and continue your digital pathology journey". This was my third appearance on his show, so I was really honored!

Our talk about digital pathology focused on the cultural shift and learning mentality essential for embracing rapid advancements in the field. 

We highlighted the importance of open-mindedness, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the practical applications of AI to enhance diagnostic and workflow processes.

I also shared insights from my book, "Digital Pathology 101," which Dennis called "a comprehensive resource for beginners and experts". We covered key topics such as regulatory milestones, interoperability, and the role of toxicologic pathology.
