Abstract

Clinical pathology, as a core discipline of medical diagnosis, is experiencing unprecedented changes and challenges, with the growing acceptance of artificial intelligence in medicine, especially the introduction of foundation models in pathology. The emergence of these intelligent models will change the workflow of pathology, change the learning and diagnostic mode of pathologists, and also put forward new requirements and provide new paths for the training of clinical pathology residents. In this paper, the current status of the application of artificial intelligence in clinical pathology, its impact on residency training, the construction of the new paradigm, and the future development, will be discussed in this paper.

随着人工智能在医学领域的应用日益被接纳,尤其国内外病理大模型陆续推出,临床病理学作为医学诊断的核心学科,正经历着前所未有的变革与挑战。这些智能模型的出现将改变病理科工作流程,改变病理医师的学习和诊断模式,也对临床病理学住院医师培养提出了新要求,提供了新路径。本文将从人工智能在临床病理学中的应用现状、对住院医师培养的影响、新范式的构建以及未来发展等方面进行探讨。.
