Althrough this book represents the official report of a British Medical Association, one would gather that it does not stem from a "survey" of medical education such as the study of pediatric departments conducted recently by the American Academy of Pediatrics, or that of schools of medicine now in progress under the auspices of the Association of American Medical Colleges and Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association. At least, the book contains no mass of factual data such as is usually found in reports of this sort in the United States.

In March 1977, an Aboriginal Studies Curriculum Committee was officially established by the South Australian Education Department. The committee has representatives from primary and secondary schools, colleges of advanced education, Aboriginal and Historic Relics Section of the Department of Environment, Libraries Branch, and Principal Education Officers. Although meetings of the full committee are held on a regualr basis to plan on-going tasks and to review material being produced, the main impetus comes from the five sub-committees that have been formed :-Primary sub-committeeSecondary sub-committeeIn-Service sub-committeeMaterials and resources review sub-committeeAboriginal liaison sub-committeeThe co-ordinators of the sub-committees also meet on a regular basis for planning and progress reporting so that the on-going program is continually under review and viable.

The shortage of pathologists in the United States has been a topic of discussion for the past 2 decades. At the 2014 Association of Pathology Chairs (APC)/Program Directors Section (PRODS) meeting, a Pipeline Subcommittee (PSC) of the APC Advocacy Committee was formed with the charge of investigating ways to increase the number of highly qualified United States Medical Graduates entering into pathology. Several online surveys were developed to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to recruitment into pathology. Two general pipeline surveys were completed; one was issued in 2014 and is discussed in this article. In 2018, the Medical Education Working Group surveyed the Undergraduate Medical Education Directors Section on the state of undergraduate medical education for pathology; pipeline issues are included in this article from the 2018 survey. Medical schools that reported 2% to 5% or more of their graduates going into pathology were compared with schools where less than 1% went into pathology. About one-third of schools producing more pathology residents had Post-Sophomore Pathology Fellowships. Schools that had a faculty member on the curriculum committee that felt they had little or no control were more likely to have fewer graduates going into pathology. Schools having students view an autopsy as a requirement of graduation were more likely to produce graduates going into pathology. However, none of these characteristics achieved statistical significance. Continued incorporation of best practices for exposure of pathology as a medical specialty as well as outreach to students will be necessary for the future pipeline.
