About Michael Laposata

Michael is Professor of Pathology and Chair of the Department of Pathology at the University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston.

We asked Michael to advise upcoming medical students on why they should join pathology. “If you want to be involved in the diagnosis of large numbers of cases within your special interest, not just the few you might see in clinic on a certain day, you should become a pathologist. This will allow you to quickly learn about the simple and the complex cases, and provide essential diagnostic information to treating healthcare providers who need your help on many cases.”
