Abstract: Declining numbers of hospital autopsies performed in US pathology residency training programs and perceived declining practice of autopsy by many pathologists has caused stakeholder organizations to reassess the role of autopsy training in pathology residency. A working group convened by the stakeholder organizations has delivered the results of a detailed study of current practice of autopsy education in US pathology programs, along with recommendations for the future of autopsy education. Accepting the report of the Working Group, the Association of Pathology Chairs here publishes its position paper on the proposed recommendations.
