Dr. Josh Klonoski, Second-year neuropathology fellow, University of Utah (USA)

Please briefly describe who you are and your role?

My name is Josh Klonoski, MD, Ph.D. I am a second-year neuropathology (PGY6) fellow at the University of Utah.

What problems were you attempting to solve when you started using ExpertPath?

Our residency program at the University of Utah started using ExpertPath during my PGY2 year. The residents were looking for something that was up-to-date and would improve efficiency while on our surgical pathology rotations.

From your point of view, what are the biggest benefits you found in using ExpertPath in your day-to-day routine?

ExpertPath has improved my knowledge base and diagnostic skills. The topics are written by content experts in various fields. Clear, concise, and high-yield content along with the solid differentials and key immunohistochemical stains provide foundational support while on a busy surgical pathology rotation. Beyond this, the content and high-quality images were invaluable for making Case of the Month presentations to the department and interdepartmental presentations.

What’s the primary reason you would recommend ExpertPath?

ExpertPath will improve the knowledge and performance of pathology residents and fellows. It is also a key resource for them early in the morning and/or late at night when there are opportunities and critical decisions to improve turnaround time. In the end, this will enable programs to produce better pathologists and improve community health.

Is it important in your daily clinical activity to have diagnostic support tools?

As pathology continues to grow in terms of complexity and case volume, ExpertPath can help guide differentials and improve immunomorphologic and even molecular characterization on a daily basis. Whether the case is a primary CNS tumor, a soft tissue tumor or a rare metastasis, ExpertPath can facilitate work-ups and reports.
