Abstract Diversity, equity, and inclusion is a powerful goal which many of us strive toward in medicine, both in patient care and administrative leadership. As the world evolves, the practice of medicine must evolve with it. We are cognizant of the importance of the history of our medical specialties. If we do not acknowledge all parts of our history, we are doomed to repeat it. This special issue is unique and unlike anything that has previously been published in Diagnostic Cytopathology. This issue looks at some of the history of cytopathology. This historical review is followed by some of the present state of cytopathology. There are insights into global cytopathology. The final portion of this issue examines the critical need for cytotechnology schools in the United States. All of these areas are critical to the past, present, and future of cytopathology.
