• In addition to serving as an AMA Alternate Delegate, Dr. Kearns serves as an ASCP Resident Council Member and is a Gynecologic Pathology Fellow at Johns Hopkins Hospital 

ASCP is proud to announce the election of Katerina Kearns, MD, as the Resident and Fellow Section (RFS) Alternate Delegate to the American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates (HOD)—confirmed at the 2025 AMA Annual Meeting in June. 

This endorsement reflects ASCP’s ongoing commitment to cultivating leadership within the pathology and laboratory medicine community. Dr. Kearns will represent the interests of trainees and residents in national policy discussions, helping to shape the future of medicine through her participation in the HOD. This role extends beyond the Pathology Section Council, offering a broader platform to elevate the visibility and influence of pathology and laboratory medicine across the wider medical community. 

ASCP has long been a driving force in representing pathologists’ interests at the AMA, with its delegation actively shaping discussions on critical issues such as artificial intelligence in healthcare, diagnostic integrity, and workforce sustainability. We look forward to continued collaboration with the AMA and other medical specialties to ensure that pathology remains a vital voice in healthcare.
