Eva Wojcik
Eva is Chair of the Department of Pathology and Helen M. and Raymond M. Galvin Professor of Pathology at Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine in Maywood, Illinois. After completing her medical training at the Academy of Medicine in Gdansk, Poland, she moved to the US to begin her illustrious career in cytopathology. One of Eva’s major contributions is her support for the “See, Test & Treat” program at Loyola, which provides free cancer screening and health education to local patients. As a founding member of the Paris System Working Group, she also led a team of world leaders in cytopathology and urology to conceive a standardized platform for the cytologic interpretation of urine samples when diagnosing bladder cancer. Nominators commend her career as “a testament service to others” and describe her as a “champion for the underserved.” Her best advice? “Coincidence can lead you to a very fulfilling and satisfactory career; just don’t be afraid to say yes. If I can do it, so can you!”
