About Jonathan Bakst

Having progressed from pathologists’ assistant to lab manager, Jonathan is now Regional Administrative Director of Laboratory Services at Loyola University Health System, Chicago. A former ASCP 40 Under Forty winner and member of the American Association of Pathologists’ Assistants Board of Trustees, his efforts toward championing the pathologists’ assistant profession are second to none. We asked him about the effects of the pandemic on his work. “COVID-19 has had a huge impact across all laboratories, including staff levels, interactions, and our daily operations – but it has brought the best out of laboratory colleagues and leaders.”
