One Size Fits Nobody: Shifts in Private Practice in 2026 

The landscape of private practice pathology has never been more challenging or more consequential. To help explain just why, this webinar will bring together practitioners and leaders to explore today’s realities—including the continued erosion of Medicare reimbursement rates, the growing burden of administration and compliance requirements, and the strategic decisions that determine whether a practice thrives or becomes the next acquisition target.

Objectives: 

• Identify the key financial and regulatory pressures threatening the viability of independent pathology practices.
• Analyze strategic approaches used by private pathology groups to give them an edge against larger institutions.
• Assess the role of emerging technologies, including AI, to increase efficiency and accuracy.  
• Examine the challenges and opportunities of recruiting new pathologists into independent practice.
