“The future of Pathology is digital, where pathologists provide accurate diagnoses that are critical to physicians and patients.”
John Ozolek, MD Professor and Clinical Director of Digital Pathology
The Department of Pathology, Anatomy and Laboratory Medicine (PALM) at the West Virginia University School of Medicine is committed to providing high-value and state-of- the-art pathology and clinical laboratory services, educating the next generation of physicians, pathologists, laboratorians, and anatomical scientists and advancing pathology and laboratory medicine practice through translational, clinical, and educational research.
Digital Pathology allows us to distribute images to our pathologists spread across WVU Medicine, facilitating patient diagnosis, specialist consultations, intraoperative consults, and tumor boards.
Whole-slide images created through the Digital Pathology Program enhances our educational programs for Pathology residents, medical students, histotechnologists, pathologists’ assistants, and students entering other healthcare fields.
By developing artificial intelligence and machine-learning tools, we will transform pathology practice and extend our translational research programs.
