Why so few women in pathology informatics?
Alexis Carter, MD, did not realize she was a rare bird when, as a resident more than a decade ago, she acted on her penchant for health informatics. Dr. Carter had become interested in the field while working under a clinical chemist who developed computer programs that notified him when instruments weren’t performing as expected or when a lab result required further investigation. This led her to enroll in three months of informatics training during her fifth year of pathology residency. Later, her molecular pathology fellowship director allowed her to take a second fellowship year to work with the molecular informatics division.
