What are the challenges in addressing the shortage?
Addressing the workforce shortage in histology involves several challenges. One major challenge is the lengthy and specialized training required to become a proficient histologist. Furthermore, there is a need for more educational institutions to offer programs in histology. Additionally, the profession often lacks the visibility and recognition it deserves, making it less attractive to potential candidates. Lastly, budget constraints in healthcare systems can limit the ability to hire and train new histologists.
