I like diagnosing diseases and disorders at the cellular level. I am excited to begin my residency in Pathology this year at University of Nebraska. Name: Newsha Sajadi, M4School: Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine, Las Cruces, New Mexico, 2023Committed to Pathology: YesWhy Pathology: “Why path” is a core IV question. Everyone’s story is different. My interest in pathology was a combination of intellectual challenge and visceral feel from grossing. Internal medicine and surgery already complemented these elements so pathology felt like the most appropriate choice. That's not enough though, so I dedicated the first half of the fourth 4th year doing only pathology rotations. From Hematopathology to Genitourinary to blood bank to national reference laboratories.

These stories would range from relatively straightforward cases to the more challenging and complex ones. As I grew older, I was allowed to visit my father’s workplace (Dental Department at Loyola University) from time to time recognizing those stories that had fascinated me. It was this love for those challenging cases that would further fuel my love for pathology and desire to become a physician.

Des Moines, IA, May 2023Committed to Pathology: YesWhy Pathology: The idea that we can take cytology, a biopsy, or a larger resection of a patient's tissue and see histopathologic changes using a microscope has always fascinated me. But my ultimate interest was solidified when I learned how critical these diagnoses were to determining the management of the patient's care.Name: Drashti Upadhyay, M4School: Loyola Stritch School of Medicine (SSOM), 2023Committed to Pathology: NoName: Laila Kalaf, M4School: Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Philadelphia PA, 2023Committed to Pathology: NoName: Ester Masati , M4Loyola Stritch School of Medicine (SSOM), 2023Committed to Pathology: No
