The Power List 2020 – A Solid Foundation
Melissa is Professor Emeritus of Pathology and Associate Director of the Pathology Residency Program at the University of Washington. As past president of the ASCP, she worked tirelessly to enhance diversity and empower leadership potential within the organization. It is a testament to her success that the ASCP have now launched a Diversity and Inclusion Committee, which aims to recruit underrepresented groups into the field and provide education to build inclusive workspaces. “The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a rapid switch to global virtual education that exemplifies a way to build a connected, worldwide community of investigators and learners,” says Melissa.
