What is a remote anatomic pathologist?

A Remote Anatomic Pathologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing diseases by examining tissues and cells, but performs their work remotely using digital pathology platforms. They review high-resolution images of tissue samples sent electronically rather than working with physical slides in a laboratory. This allows them to provide diagnostic services, consultations, and second opinions from any location with secure internet access, improving access to pathology expertise and reducing turnaround times for results.
