A survey of manpower supply and need in academic pathology departments was conducted by the Joint Task Force on Pathology Manpower of the College of American Pathologists, the American Society of Clinical Pathologists, and the Association of Pathology Chairmen by means of questionnaires distributed to chairmen and faculty of all departments of pathology and laboratory medicine in the United States. Of the 136 departments, responses were obtained from 131 (96%) chairmen and from 1,561 (45%) faculty members. The current total need for faculty members (funded vacant positions) is 272, and the projected aggregate need over the next five years is 693 members for new and replacement positions. The greatest needs are for research MD pathologists and surgical pathologists, followed by autopsy and chemical pathologists. Based on the estimate of current pathology trainees planning academic careers, there is a strong indication that the projected supply of MD pathologists is significantly less than the anticipated demand.
美国病理学家学会、美国临床病理学家协会和病理学主席协会的病理学人力联合特别工作组，通过向美国所有病理学和检验医学系的系主任及教员发放问卷，对学术性病理学系的人力供需情况进行了调查。在136个系中，收到了131位（96%）系主任以及1561位（45%）教员的回复。目前对教员（有经费支持的空缺职位）的总需求为272人，预计未来五年新职位和替换职位的总需求为693人。需求最大的是从事研究工作的医学博士病理学家和外科病理学家，其次是尸检病理学家和化学病理学家。根据目前计划从事学术生涯的病理学实习生的估计，有强烈迹象表明，医学博士病理学家的预计供应量明显低于预期需求量。
