María is Senior Technician and Head of Pathology Laboratory, Interventional Cytotechnologist, Hospital Universitario del Henares, Madrid, Spain. She is a devoted technician, pioneer, and teacher – training pathologists’ assistants and cytotechnicians in interventional pathology procedures to ensure optimal workflow during the pathologist’s consultation. María’s interest in laboratory medicine was sparked because “it is a very dynamic profession, constantly changing. We always have to be in continuous evolution and training.” If she hadn’t become a laboratory professional, Maria believes she would have considered creating a library to share knowledge about healthcare.
