If investigative pathology is the “road less travelled,” publishing is the key to traveling this road. Your publications show where you have been and where you are going. In addition, grant funding is essential for the success of an academic laboratory. Finally, alternative career pathways in industry are becoming an attractive alternative to academia while industry increasingly collaborates with university-based pathologists. This course will call on established experts in Pathology to guide you in writing and publishing papers as well as successful grant proposals. It will also outline pathology career pathways in industry as well as collaborations between industry and academics.
