This article concerns the years I spent in practicing anatomic pathology in various places and the evolution of my opinion that location and specialization are linked. I am going to assume that those of us who practice pathology know how to describe the nature of our duties and responsibilities as well as how we got to that point, whether as generalist or specialist. In addition, we know geographically and institutionally where we presently are. My personal experience and observations, admittedly anecdotal, have been that pathologists commonly practice in one or at the most two locations during the course of a career. The reasons are multifactorial, but my comments here suggest that it need not be a foreordained conclusion that where one starts is where one finishes.
本文讲述了我在不同地方从事解剖病理学工作的那些年，以及我对于工作地点与专业领域相关联这一观点的演变。我假定我们这些从事病理学工作的人知道如何描述我们职责的性质以及我们是如何走到今天这一步的，无论是作为通才还是专科医生。此外，我们在地理和机构层面都清楚自己目前所处的位置。诚然，我的个人经历和观察都是轶事性的，但我发现病理学家在职业生涯中通常在一个地方或最多在两个地方执业。原因是多方面的，但我在此想说的是，一个人从哪里开始并不一定就会在哪里结束。
