The interest towards digital pathology has rapidly expanded within the last few years in the private consultancy space. Many clients requested additional digital services related to more complex cancer research programs, but also the consultancy in the diagnostic environment became modified with shorter deadlines and less travel time. The consultant had no other option than to increase his/her digital knowledge and skills in order to manage whole-slide imaging systems. In 2016, the National Society of Histotechnology (NSH) started in collaboration with the Digital Pathology association (DPA), to develop a new online self-paced certificate program that would improve professional competency in the digital pathology and whole-slide imaging. As a consultant recently certified in digital pathology, it supported my career advancement. Also, in order to adapt to their specific needs, digital consultancy services were asked to increase their collaborations with new partners, such as whole slide imaging platform(s), image analysis software(s), deep learning, and digital educational tools. The classical static pathology consultancy setting became a real 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.
