The interest towards digital pathology has rapidly expanded within the previous couple of years within the private consultancy space. Many purchasers requested additional digital services associated with more complex cancer research programs, but also the consultancy within the diagnostic environment became modified with shorter deadlines and fewer time period . The consultant had no other option than to extend his/her digital knowledge and skills so as to manage whole-slide imaging systems. In 2016, the National Society of Histotechnology (NSH) started together with the Digital Pathology association (DPA), to develop a replacement online self-paced certificate program that might improve professional competency within the digital pathology and whole-slide imaging. As a consultant recently certified in digital pathology, it supported my career advancement. Also, so as to adapt to their specific needs, digital consultancy services were asked to extend their collaborations with new partners, like whole slide imaging platform(s), image analysis software(s), deep learning, and digital educational tools. The classical static pathology consultancy setting became a true dynamic digital cockpit offering the art of pathology, combined with digital expertise. The daily routine of a digital pathology consultant switched suddenly to an exciting digital pathology journey.
