In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Send us a text In this episode of the Digital Pathology Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Lija Joseph, a pathologist who is redefining patient care by making pathology more accessible and understandable. Traditionally, pathology has been a “behind-the-scenes” specialty, but Dr. Joseph is changing that by directly engaging with patients, showing them their pathology slides, and empowering them with knowledge about their diagnoses. 🔬 Key Topics Covered: [00:00:00] Introduction to Patient-Centric Pathology [00:01:00] Meet Dr. Lija Joseph: Her Background and Journey [00:05:00] The Patient Who Inspired a New Approach [00:10:00] Why Patients Need to See Their Pathology Images [00:15:00] The Power of Knowledge: How Patient Awareness Improves Care [00:20:00] Overcoming Barriers to Patient-Pathologist Communication [00:25:00] How Digital Pathology Can Make This Scalable [00:30:00] The Role of Technology in Breaking Down Access Barriers [00:35:00] Convincing Healthcare Leadership to Support This Initiative [00:40:00] How Digital Pathology Can Transform Patient Outcomes 🩺 Why This Matters: Most patients never meet their pathologists—but should they? Dr. Joseph believes so. She shares powerful stories of how patients who see their own slides gain a deeper understanding of their disease, make better treatment decisions, and experience greater peace of mind. 🚀 How Digital Pathology Can Change the Future: Dr. Joseph’s approach is innovative, but digital pathology can take it even further. Imagine a world where patients don’t have to visit a hospital to see their biopsy results but can access them remotely through secure digital platforms. This technology has the potential to bridge the gap between patients and their pathologists, improving care and trust. 🎧 Tune in now to learn how pathology can become more patient-focused! #DigitalPathology #PatientCenteredCare #PathologyInnovation #AIinHealthcare Support the show Become a Digital Pathology Trailblazer get the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!…
