Christina Arnold
The Power List 2019
Christina Arnold
Christina is Chief of GI Pathology, Associate Director of the GI pathology fellowship, and pathology faculty lead for the clinical gastroenterology fellows at The Ohio State University. She was nominated for the Power List thanks to her passion for creating the next generation of leaders in pathology through both faculty development and her work with medical students. She created the #PSIG and #FASTPath hashtags on social media to assemble exciting, interactive teaching sessions and share mentorship, support, and tips for students. Christina is particularly interested in novel GI injury patterns, including inflammatory bowel disease and mimics, infectious agents, and emerging drug injuries. “I would never have guessed that my phone would play such a dominant role in my career,” she says. “Social media provides instant connectivity with the world and helps me feel supported, engaged, and surrounded by all the good that is in pathology. It has also bestowed profound opportunities that I would not have had access to without developing a presence on social media, such as invited lectures, leadership roles, research collaborations, and more.”
