CONTEXT.—: As pathologists retire and leave the field, it is critical to accurately capture employment trends for new-in-practice pathologists. There is always interest in the job market for newly graduated pathology trainees and prospective pathology trainees, but it is unclear how the COVID-19 pandemic may have affected the job search experience.
OBJECTIVE.—: To provide an update on trends gleaned from a survey of pathology graduates' job search experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
DESIGN.—: We analyzed data from an annual job search survey sent by the College of American Pathologists Graduate Medical Education Committee between 2020 and 2022 to College of American Pathologists junior members and fellows in practice 3 years or less actively looking for a nonfellowship position. Various indicators of the job search experience were compared year to year and with the data previously published 2017 to 2019 and 2012 to 2016.
RESULTS.—: Analysis revealed continued positive trends between the 2020 to 2022 data and the data from 2017 to 2019 and 2012 to 2016. This includes continued ease in finding positions, continued availability of jobs in the subspecialty of choice, continued satisfaction with the positions accepted, and, notably, higher starting salaries.
CONCLUSIONS.—: Despite the many challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, job market trends for newly graduated pathology trainees continue to be favorable with respect to multiple indicators compared with 2 prior periods, 2017 to 2019 and 2012 to 2016.
随着病理学家退休并离开该领域，准确掌握新入行病理学家的就业趋势至关重要。新毕业的病理学实习生和未来的病理学实习生一直对就业市场感兴趣，但尚不清楚新冠疫情可能如何影响求职经历。
提供关于新冠疫情期间病理学毕业生求职经历调查所得趋势的最新情况。
我们分析了美国病理学家学会毕业后医学教育委员会在2020年至2022年期间向美国病理学家学会初级会员和从业3年或更短时间且积极寻找非研究员职位的会员发送的年度求职调查问卷数据。将求职经历的各项指标逐年进行比较，并与2017年至2019年以及2012年至2016年之前公布的数据进行比较。
分析显示，2020年至2022年的数据与2017年至2019年以及2012年至2016年的数据之间呈现持续的积极趋势。这包括找工作持续轻松、所选亚专业的工作岗位持续可得、对接受的职位持续满意，以及值得注意的是，起薪更高。
尽管新冠疫情带来诸多挑战，但与之前的两个时期（2017年至2019年和2012年至2016年）相比，新毕业病理学实习生的就业市场趋势在多个指标方面仍然有利。
