I've been asked to try and collect benchmark  information on Pathologist Coverage.  Specifically, the number of Pathologists it would take to service an Anatomic Pathology lab that processes approximately 13000 Surgical cases, 1200 Non-gyn Cytologies (all PAPs sent out) and 60 autopssy cases a year, as well as serving the Clinical Lab.  This is assuming there are no Pathologists Assistants.  If there are PAs, how would this affect the number of Pathologists needed?
If you don't want to hazard a guess for these figures, could you let me know the workload stats and # of Pathologists at your site.
Thanks in advance for your help.
