Resident Perspectives: Why Pathology?

University of Michigan Department of Pathology residents talk about how they ended up in pathology.

Love that there isn't as much social interaction since I have social anxiety. Thanks for the video.

I am an incoming 3rd year medical student. After I finished our anatomic and clincal pathology, I am just in awe in the knowledge in store for me in this specialization. Totally my first choice!

[cootumrebel]

I became a pathologist because I discovered I didn't have the patience, the stamina, or the personality to be a clinician, especially in OB/GYN. LOL :-)

This video is very insightful for the pathology program. As a prospective applicant for residency training this year, it has given me a good overview of the learning opportunities at the program!

[aniron]

I would love to go into forensic pathology!

[somaligirl]

I have always wanted to be a doctor but I was scared of open wounds and stuff like that so for me pathology is away to avoid that stuff but am also fascinated by the equipment and time in the lab

Good video, I am unsure with residency to go through, torn between Infectious Diseases, Pathology, Neurology, Oncology and Nephrology. I know, it is a lot to choose from. But videos like these certainly helps.

What about salary, work-life balance, work hours etc...

[mosesakkidasari]

Can a bsc forensic science student do msc pathology?

[thehusbandofstardomfamily]

Yes, I were thinking pathology, anesthesiology, neurologist surgeon..

[matyldakrupa]

I think about becoming a pathologist. Iabsolutely love microscopes, slides and dead bodies aren’t grossing me out, the only problem is that I am a very social person and I love interacting with them, pathologist doesn’t work with patients very often ;(((

[thehusbandofstardomfamily]

Yes, pathology was awesome, so is infectious disease.

Where are all the white males? I feel kind of alone here.

This is where the patients money is drained from their life regardless of any solutions being discovered.
