Looking for some ideas of programs to explore while I attempt to a build a list for this upcoming application cycle.

Also, if anyone has any advice on program characteristics to look for vs. avoid, I am all ears.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Hey everyone,

will be applying path next year and am strongly considering ranking the NYC programs first. I’ve tried to do my research on them and these are the impressions I have based on what little people have shared publicly:

Mt Sinai and Columbia overall best, Columbia strong on CP, MSH strong on digital and AI
Cornell—kinda malignant but strongest ties to MSK
NYU—probably ok?? couldn’t find out much
Montefiore — motivated PD and overall a very nice program?
Mt Sinai West — has a reputation for malignancy due to high IMG quota but residents seem to get good fellowships at MSK and beyond-so that rep seems unjustified?
Lenox Hill—avoid?? ☠️

I would be very grateful if you could comment on those observations and confirm, refute, add your own impressions. Feel free to DM

Any info would be much appreciated! 🫶🏼🔬

I’m going to college in January next year! What advice does anyone have to get into this field? I’ve also ways been so interested!

I'm trying to find whole-slide H&E images (digital pathology slides) of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), but I honestly don't know where to find them.

I've searched online without much success. Does anyone know of any websites, public repositories, teaching collections, or virtual pathology resources that have these slides available to view?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

As a pathologist, I’ve often felt that standard physical tally counters are clunky, while fully automated AI counters don't always align with a trained eye—especially when dealing with faint nuclear staining, overlapping tumor cells, or distinguishing stromal lymphocytes in IHC (like Ki-67 labeling index, ER/PgR, or p53).

To solve this, I developed Ohajiki Counter—a mobile tool designed not to replace a pathologist’s judgment, but to assist experienced eyes in rapid, precise manual tallying directly from microscopic fields or photos.

Key Features:

• Designed for Expert Judgment: Built specifically for manual/semi-manual tallying where the user retains full control over positive vs. negative calls.
• Multi-channel & On-the-fly Indexing: Effortlessly calculates positive percentages / labeling indices (%) in real time.
• 100% Offline & Private: No cloud uploads, no ads, no telemetry—your clinical/research images stay strictly local.
• Distraction-Free UI: Clean, responsive, and optimized for high-volume routine sign-outs or research.

Current Status & Availability:

• 🤖 Android: Available now on Google Play (100% free, no ads).
• 🍏 iOS Status: The iOS build is currently running on a Hackintosh setup for internal testing, so I can't publish it to the App Store just yet. I'm planning to pick up a Mac mini soon to finalize the official iOS release!

It’s completely free without ads. If you perform manual IHC counting or cytology evaluations and want to give it a try on Android, I’d love to hear feedback from fellow pathologists!

and do you ever feel like the responsibility is just too much? Ever felt burnt out?

Regarding the email sent by Mary today, the hell is a psychometric team? I don’t love the thought of new scoring changes happening this year. Did they tell us this was happening? What do you think this will mean for scoring, other than making it take way longer apparently?
