It is a field that almost daily shows you that despite how much someone may know, there is always so much more to learn. Also, with pathology being the field of medicine that deals with molecular biology greatly, I would really like to learn and understand this area better since it's the direction in which medicine is headed toward.Name: Uma Bhatta, MDMedical School: National Medical College & Teaching Hospital, Birgunj, Nepal, 2014Committed to Pathology: YesWhy Pathology: I was fascinated in the moment by the critical role Pathology plays in diagnosing the disease and helps in guiding the treatment plan. Clinicians without the diagnostic support would be hitting the target in the dark.Name: Matthew Khouzam, M4Medical School: Loyola University Chicago SSOM, 2024Committed to Pathology: NoWhy Pathology: I am interested in general thoracic surgery and am interested in learning more about thoracic pathology and how I can assist pathologists with my specimens I send in the OR.

After completing multiple rotations in both anatomic and clinical pathology, I began to see the body as a complex jigsaw puzzle, with each piece of the patient’s story revealing more of the diagnosis. I aim to utilize my skills to bring clarity to the chaos of disease by uncovering the hidden stories within the human body.Name: Yudai Okabe, M4Medical School: Loyola University Chicago SSOM, 2024Committed to Pathology: NoName: Kyle Thomson, M4Medical School: Chicago Medical School, Chicago, 2024Committed to Pathology: NoName: Janan Lim, M4Medical School: Kansas City University, Kansas City, Missouri, Class of 2024Committed to Pathology: No

A good and decent grasp of pathology helped me lay a very good foundation for understanding the clinical sciences. In addition, pathology helped me develop critical thinking which translates to clinical problems. Though pathologists may be seen to work behind the scenes, they are indeed very instrumental in patient care.Name: Jessica Simpson, M3Medical School: Loyola University Chicago SSOM, 2025Committed to Pathology: NoName: KiAundra Kilpatrick, M3Medical School: Loyola University Chicago SSOM, 2025Committed to Pathology: UndecidedName: Lorenzo Manalo, M4Medical School: Chicago Medical School, Chicago, IL, 2024Committed to Pathology: No
