As the Cytotechnology Program Review Committee (CPRC) shared its intent to transition all undergraduate and certificate training programs to a Master's degree curriculum by 2022, mixed opinions have been expressed by various stakeholders from the larger pathology and allied health communities. In order to build a consensus path forward, a framework entitled "Walk in the Woods," an international diplomacy approach, is described. Unlike many problem-solving approaches which directly identify a problem and potential solutions, this approach is a four-step process which includes: (1) self-interest, (2) enlarged interest, (3) enlightened interest, and (4) aligning interest; each step builds on the preceding step. While four steps may take longer than the traditional "problem to solution" paradigm, the purpose of each step is to increase transparency and clarity in a complex multiparty negotiation, such as the path forward for cytotechnology. This commentary demonstrates, in a step-by-step manner, how a "Walk in the Woods" can aid in the facilitation of the transition of the cytology degree to an entry-level Master's degree curriculum and evidence- and interest-based negotiation approach.
随着细胞技术项目评审委员会（CPRC）表示有意在2022年前将所有本科和证书培训项目转变为硕士学位课程，来自更大的病理学和相关健康领域的各利益相关方表达了不同意见。为了构建一条达成共识的前进道路，本文描述了一种名为“林中漫步”的框架，这是一种国际外交方法。与许多直接识别问题和潜在解决方案的解决问题方法不同，这种方法是一个四步过程，包括：（1）自身利益，（2）扩大利益，（3）开明利益，以及（4）利益协调；每一步都建立在前一步的基础上。虽然这四个步骤可能比传统的“问题到解决方案”模式花费更长时间，但每一步的目的都是在复杂的多方谈判中提高透明度和清晰度，比如细胞技术的前进道路。本评论逐步骤展示了“林中漫步”如何有助于推动细胞学学位向入门级硕士学位课程的转变以及基于证据和利益的谈判方法。
