Karen Villar Zarra
The Power List 2021 – Front(line) and Center
Karen is a USFNA CAP Certified Pathologist and a true ambassador of point-of-care ultrasound in pathology. Not only that, during Spain’s first pandemic wave, she volunteered to work on the frontline in the emergency room. Karen says, “Our colleagues in the emergency room were starting to fall ill and there was no one to receive the patients who kept arriving. I had training in clinical medicine before becoming a pathologist and I volunteered as ER medical staff [...] Not only was I able to help a lot of people in need, but I also made good friends among my colleagues.”
