Reviewing manuscripts is a critical activity in the maturation process of academic pathologists and pathobiologists. Laboratory Investigation has therefore developed an Editorial Internship Program to train young scientists to develop expertize in reviewing manuscripts. Associate Editors for the journal and select pathology chairs were asked to identify promising graduate students, postdocs, senior residents or starting faculty members who would be interested in reviewing manuscripts as Editorial Interns. The interns are asked to review manuscripts submitted to the journal along with two senior reviewers. The interns submit their reviews under the same guidelines as the senior reviewers, and receive the other two reviews, as well as updates about the final disposition of the manuscript. This enables the interns to compare and contrast their own comments with the others. If appropriate, the Associate Editor includes an intern's review in the decision letter to the authors.

Accordingly, the Executive Editors of Laboratory Investigation would like to thank the Editorial Interns who have served the journal through 2010, listed below.
