Abstract
CONTEXT: Genomic medicine is revolutionizing patient care. Physicians in areas as diverse as oncology, obstetrics, and infectious disease have begun using next-generation sequencing assays as standard diagnostic tools. OBJECTIVE: To review the role of pathologists in genomic testing as well as current educational programs and future training needs in genomic pathology. DATA SOURCES: Published literature as well as personal experience based on committee membership and genomic pathology curricular design. CONCLUSIONS: Pathologists, as the directors of the clinical laboratories, must be prepared to integrate genomic testing into their practice. The pathology community has made significant progress in genomics-related education. A continued coordinated and proactive effort will ensure a future vital role for pathologists in the evolving health care system and also the best possible patient care.
