The Department of Pathology welcomed 7 new graduate students, 7 new residents, 10 new ACGME fellows, 10 new non-ACGME fellows/Clinical Instructors and 11 new faculty at its annual Welcome Reception on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.
Attendees had an opportunity to meet our new colleagues while enjoying a nice hors d'oeuvres buffet and a glass of wine. Dr. Charles Parkos, Chair of Pathology, briefly welcomed attendees then encouraged them to socialize and get to know one another. It was a well-attended and enjoyable event. Based on those we met, we have a tremendous new cohort of team members in Pathology! You can virtually meet them below.
