"If you were to put your life under the microscope what would be the story behind the slide?"
The article begins with an interesting question, "If you were to put your life under the microscope what would be the story behind the slide?" This question opens the way for introspection and self examination through story to meaningfully and creatively explore the individual and the profession.
It is an unprecedented time of transition for the profession of pathology and laboratory medicine with an increasing demand for lab professionals to manage pivotal roles as scientists and creative problem solvers. Pathologists also take on additional roles as consultants, collaborators, teachers and communicators. This article featured in the American Society for Clinical Pathology magazine "Critical Values" helps demonstrate, through illustrative examples, the many ways the creative arts as applied in research and interdisciplinary practice could offer hope as the profession seeks to broadly communicate a multi faceted image while sharing the human stories behind the microscope and the lives behind the slides.
