Testimonials
There are many learning activities such as daily journal discussions and presentation of didactic topics via PowerPoint. The expectation is to keep up with the readings corresponding with daily cases and to progress with suggesting differentials and initial immunohistochemical panels, even with advanced oncology cases...Training level didactic lectures given by the preceptor are extremely helpful and appropriate for pathology candidates. Although most of the daily cases have a GI/Liver & pancreatobiliary focus there is
plenty of exposure to complex lung, gynecological and breast pathology cases to name a few...The heart of the rotation is being taught and guided by a world-class pathologist...As a fun and caring preceptor, the doctor took time to get to know my background, my path in pursuing pathology training, and incorporated me into the team of departmental fellows. The doctor will restore your passion for pathology and leave you optimistic that you can chase your dreams...This is a top-tier observership!
