Jason Wasserman
Jason is a head and neck pathologist at The Ottawa Hospital and an Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa. Although he has only been in practice for one year, he was nominated for the website he created to explain pathology reports to patients (mypathologyreport.ca). It now includes articles from pathologists across Canada and is recommended for patients in several cancer centers. “As experts, we have a responsibility to empower patients by helping them find answers,” Jason says. “Pathologists are going to need to learn how to communicate increasingly complex results not only to other doctors, but also to patients.”
