In relation to pathologists, there is unique opportunity to perform similar analysis, based on application of current corresponding staff standards that consider volume of workload of physicians in order to determine required number of positions. The implementation of corresponding original methodology permitted to establish that the actual number of staff positions of pathologists in 2022 amounted up to average 40.6% of the number required according to staffing standards in the Irkutsk Oblast. The physician staffing ratio, calculated on the basis of required number of positions found according to proposed methodology, decreases to 29.1% and staffing with physicians excluding combined jobs to 17.1%. At that, implemented workload per one pathologist reaches 5.9 of standard positions. The deficiency of representatives of this specialty in the region, even if current combined jobs ratio is maintained, is 154 specialists.</p>physicianspathologistsstaff standardsmedical personnelneedworkloadврачипатологоанатомыштатные нормативымедицинские кадрыпотребностьнагрузка1.Shipova V.
