Dr. Donald Deye, Medical Director, Oakstone Medical Publishing, and other practitioners surveyed the opinions of colleagues and practitioners and agreed on the following: (1) Pathology specialists’ must maintain skills and competency; (2) The medical journals are a fertile source of new information, which however, is too diverse and voluminous to be effectively used by most busy clinicians, (3) Pathology specialists’ need a timesaving way to more effectively use the peer-reviewed reports that appear in the journals, (4) The use of this audiotape is a practical source of education medicine.
