The role of education and training for cytopathologists in assuring quality in cytology laboratories is discussed, with particular attention given to (1) the problems in the diagnosis of Papanicolaou smears and (2) the contributions of the American Society of Cytology to cytology education. While many people contribute to the success or failure of gynecologic screening programs, poorly trained pathologists can be an especially weak link in the chain given their position in the diagnostic process. Well-formulated residency programs and the use of other educational resources can produce higher-caliber cytopathologists. The problems in Papanicolaou smear screening need to be defined, discussed and resolved by well-trained cytopathologists in conjunction with the clinicians and cytotechnologists involved.
讨论了细胞病理学家的教育和培训在确保细胞学实验室质量方面的作用，尤其关注（1）巴氏涂片诊断中的问题，以及（2）美国细胞学会对细胞学教育的贡献。虽然许多人对妇科筛查项目的成败都有影响，但训练不足的病理学家因其在诊断过程中的位置，可能成为链条中特别薄弱的一环。精心制定的住院医师培训项目以及其他教育资源的使用，可以培养出更高水平的细胞病理学家。巴氏涂片筛查中的问题需要由训练有素的细胞病理学家与相关临床医生和细胞技术人员共同界定、讨论并解决。
