Proceedings of the Association for Pathology Informatics Bootcamp 2023: Ethics, equity, and regulations

The Pathology Informatics Bootcamp is held annually at the Pathology Informatics Summit and provides pathology trainees with knowledge about both core and emerging topics in the rapidly evolving field of Pathology Informatics. In 2023, the Bootcamp focused on the applications of ethics, equity, and regulations pertinent to pathology informatics, with emphasis on the importance of these topics in the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence in pathology and lab medicine practice. Session topics are mapped to Pathology Informatics Essentials for Residents outlines to highlight the significance of these topics in pathology practice overall, and more so within informatics practice. The curriculum included lectures on data use in the clinical lab and in digital pathology, equitable use of lab data in daily practice and downstream use, and practical application of regulations for data with clinical decision-support, accreditation, and management of patient results.
