In the true spirit of 2.0, I felt it was important to blog about the wonderful webinar presented today by Dr. Keith Kaplan, titled Pathology 2.0. Pathology 2.0 is a phrase created by Dr. Kaplan to illustrate the convergence of social media and Web 2.0 into Pathology, and his webinar discusses the impact and/or disruption Pathology 2.0 can have on surgical pathology.
Pathology 2.0
- Biomarkers, targeted therapies, dedicated chemotherapy
- Allows for the sharing of images, collaborative diagnoses, educational forums, tumor boards, etc
- The “tissue is the issue”- remains at the center
- Convergence of improved pathology and advanced communication
On a personal note, thank you Keith for your contribution to this webinar series and for your support of my efforts to leverage Web 2.0 and social media to grow my company, especially through this blog. Your continued contributions to the pathology and digital pathology community make a difference; a difference that is appreciated and valued.
