A strategic framework for pathology faculty onboarding.
Review in Academic pathology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Effective oversight of talent acquisition, integration, management, and retention in an academic pathology department is critical to sustaining its tripartite mission of clinical service, research, and education. Despite substantial focus on these areas, the crucial initial transition and onboarding period for new faculty is often treated as an afterthought. Substantial evidence shows that well-structured onboarding programs boost productivity, satisfaction, and retention. Yet, a 2024 Association for Advancing Physician and Provider Recruitment report found that just over half of physicians and clinicians receive formal onboarding. Without it, new faculty often face a "fog of war" that delays process adoption, risks inconsistency in patient-care practices, and heightens professional isolation. Recent shifts in academic pathology-the pandemic-driven "great resignation," the rise of multilocation subspecialty settings, and hybrid work environments-have highlighted the limits of traditional quick-start guides. These changes demand a recalibrated, phase-based approach that balances cognitive load, capitalizes on early heightened receptivity, and nurtures sustained engagement. To address this, we propose a seven-pillar framework: Administrative Foundations; Systems and Technical Training; Role Clarity and Expectations; Institutional and Cultural Orientation; Networking and Integration; Faculty Engagement and Support; and Professional and Personal Well-Being. Sequenced delivery of information-from prearrival digital dashboards to 30-day performance reviews and life assistance-creates a learner-centered roadmap that eliminates logistical hurdles, builds technical fluency, clarifies roles, fosters relationships, and supports personal transitions. Shifting from transactional checklists to a structured, long-term onboarding model, departments can accelerate new faculty competence, deepen alignment with departmental values, and strengthen retention, sustaining excellence in an ever-changing healthcare landscape.
