I am a proud Pathologist Assistant. What is that you may ask? To put it simply, I cut up organs all day. More complex, I describe and section every single biopsy or organ from the OR in order to assess them for various pathological disorders. I am the eyes for the pathologist who will view my organ sections microscopically to diagnose the patient. I have been a PA for two years now and truly enjoy my career. I had the wonderful opportunity to study pathology and receive my Masters degree at Duke University. I am still amazed by how much I learned in those two years.
