Women in Pathology Special Event: How to Delegate, Create Accountability, and Have More Productive Meetings

September 18, 2025
1:00 PM Eastern Time (ET)

Session Description: People want to be productive, and what often gets in the way is time and energy spent thinking and worrying about things like delegating and managing others’ follow through. Being a more effective communicator takes clarity, confidence, and framework for organizing thoughts and conversations. In this 1-hour webinar, Leadership Coach Deb Elbaum will help people feel more empowered around their delegating and accountability by sharing ideas they can immediately put into action. In addition, because delegation and follow up often happens in meetings, it’s important to think about how to use meetings most productively. Deb will also share a framework to help everyone bring more clarity and purpose to their meetings and important conversations.

Building Your Coaching Skills to Mentor, Lead, and Work with Others
Deb Elbaum, MD
Executive Coaching & Leadership Development

This interactive workshop will help people build their coaching skills for mentoring and supporting their colleagues and people in their work and personal life. Expert coaching requires a certain mindset and powerful questions. In this session we’ll clarify how coaching is different than giving advice, and we’ll talk through how one might approach different types of scenarios from a coaching perspective. Participants will create a mini-action plan for themselves with takeaways and next steps.

Setting Boundaries: When and How to Say Yes and No
Deb Elbaum, MD
Executive Coaching & Leadership Development

In this participatory workshop, we'll define what boundaries are and what's important about having clarity around what we choose to say Yes and No to. Grounding our choices in our values, purpose, and priorities gives us more peace of mind and makes it easier to say Yes and No. This clarity is important, because saying Yes to something means saying No to something else, and we want to create our life and career intentionally. Participants will leave with a mini-action plan of takeaways and next steps.

Natural History of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Implications for Diagnostics

May 10, 2023
12:00 PM (EDT)
Alexander Viloria Winnett
Graduate Student
UCLA-Caltech

Since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when diagnostic testing was scarce, over 440 molecular and antigen tests for detecting acute SARS-CoV-2 infection have been authorized by the U.S. FDA. These tests are authorized for use with a variety of specimen types (e.g. nasopharyngeal swabs, anterior nares and midturbinate nasal swabs, oropharyngeal swabs, saliva, etc.), and exhibit a wide range of analytical sensitivities (with Limits of Detection that span 6 orders of magnitude). Through a COVID-19 household transmission study, we generated a biorepository of paired saliva, anterior nares nasal swab, and oropharyngeal swab specimens collected daily from individuals before or at the incidence of naturally acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection. From these specimens, we quantified the SARS-CoV-2 viral load timecourse in each specimen type from each individual. These viral load timecourses were then used to infer the clinical sensitivity of COVID-19 tests throughout the course of infection, depending on the analytical sensitivity and specimen type used for testing. This webinar will discuss the implications of these findings on COVID-19 diagnostic testing strategies, and the interpretation of prior field studies of COVID-19 tests.

Bryan Brown and Cavan Bailey about their careers in Entrepreneurship/Start-Ups and Scientific Consulting, respectively. Both will provide insights about their career, their daily life, advice to trainees interested in a similar path, and answer your questions about their career journey. This is a great opportunity to learn about the many career possibilities available to you and to build your network!

ASIP Workshop - ASIP Highlights Session: I Am An ASIP Member and This Is My Science

Date: April 27, 2021

Session Description: As a Society, we cannot escape the identity crisis we have confronted in the past - what is pathology and how do pathologists fit into the basic framework of biomedical science? This is an ongoing challenge that requires our members to educate others regarding the nature of the discipline of experimental pathology and how our research describes and investigates the pathology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology of specific diseases at the molecular, cellular, organ, and organismal level. Overcoming this identity crisis requires effort on the part of each ASIP member and our success will be evident as we continue to attract bright and enthusiastic young investigators into the diverse field of experimental pathobiology.

The American Society for Investigative Pathology presents I Am An ASIP Member and This Is My Science a dynamic and inspiring session featuring ASIP Scientists on the Cutting Edge of Discovery briefly, present their research, accomplishments, career journeys, and service to ASIP. This session highlights the diversity among our membership, and provides trainees, young scientists, pathologists, and the members of the larger scientific community the opportunity to become inspired by Trailblazers in the field of investigative pathology.

WiP Leadership Development Event

Date: April 27, 2021

In this interactive 1-hour workshop with Leadership Coach Deb Elbaum, attendees will get clearer about their current leadership skills and identify where they can put attention to be even more successful in their current or future role.
