Why Pathology? I was initially drawn to histology from a course I took as an undergraduate. From that interest, I applied to medical school with the intent to pursue a career in Pathology. I love the process of combining medical knowledge with visualization of the disease morphology on a cellular level.
Why did you choose UT Health San Antonio? I chose the UT Health San Antonio program because of the excellent faculty, the positive endorsements from the current residents, the balanced AP and CP curriculum, and the case variety.
What do you like about living in San Antonio? San Antonio is an affordable city with a wide variety of things to do. I enjoy the outdoor activities available in the surrounding parks and downtown on the River Walk. The food is great with many restaurants to choose from. The AT&T stadium often hosts cultural and sporting events, concerts, and the annual rodeo. Also, no winter weather to contend with!

Why Pathology? I decided on pathology because not only did I enjoy using a microscope on a day-to-day basis but I also found taking a specimen all the way to forming a diagnosis intellectually stimulating and rewarding.
