How to Improve Pathologist Compensation
and Productivity for You and Your Lab

Emerging trends and job options

YOUR PRESENTER:
Rich Cornell, President, Santé Consulting

Capable pathologists are in great demand right now. And that demand is fueling increased compensation. Good news for you—particularly if you have the right mix of subspecialty expertise and productivity.

Whether your practice is trying to fill open positions, you’re a pathologist in training looking to understand the competitiveness of the marketplace and the subspecialties in demand, or you’re personally considering a career move, this audio conference will give you the information you need about important new developments in pathologist compensation, productivity, and hiring trends. Even pathology residency programs will find this an exceptional learning opportunity for new pathologists.

For almost 20 years, Rich Cornell, President of Santé Consulting—industry expert and conference presenter for this event—has placed pathologists at all the leading anatomic pathology companies and private groups nationwide. If you’re looking to hire, he’ll help you understand how to craft compensation packages that are a win-win for your laboratory and the pathologists you’re recruiting. And if you’re an individual pathologist, you’ll gain insight into the latest market trends and find out how to land the job you want with the best possible compensation package.

This 90-minute session will be organized around three primary areas of interest:

Pathologist Compensation Trends: Not all subspecialists are created equal. You’ll find out which pathology skills are in highest demand, explore the range of direct and indirect compensation typically offered by private pathologist groups and learn how these differ from packages offered by independent and national laboratories.

Pathologist Productivity Trends: Productivity standards are changing dramatically. With about 10% of all U.S. pathologists now employed by investor-owned companies, find out how these labs structure compensation, the recent trends for productivity models and how those models are changing. You’ll also learn why private pathology groups often adopt similar productivity formulas for their own partner compensation packages.

Pathologist Hiring and Market Trends: Demand for subspecialty pathology skills still outstrips the supply for certain clinical skills. As a result, the era of the generalist-pathologist may be in decline. Find out what the current and future market supply and demand looks like, plus get some basic techniques you can use during the interview process to make your opportunity more attractive to prospective pathologists.

This audio conference presents a unique opportunity to learn from one of the nation’s leading pathologist search firms. Listen on your own or assemble key team members so you can all listen together. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the most productive ways to improve your interview process and compensation models.

Best of all, you and your team can ask your own questions and get advice from our expert that’s tailored to your specific needs. So don’t wait! Reserve your spot for this timely web conference today!
