Much of a pathologist's day is preparation, measuring and describing specimens. Trained assistants can do that, and AI can pre-screen slides, so each pathologist reports far more cancers.
Pathologists' assistants (a recognised profession in North America) perform gross examination and dissection, while AI tools can pre-screen slides for likely malignancy and prioritise them. Together these could double the throughput of a pathologist without lowering quality. Most health systems have neither role nor tool in routine use. The proposal is a combined workforce-and-technology package with a training route for assistants and validated AI triage.
