Anne is Associate Professor of Pathology at the University of Virginia – and, for her, pathology runs in the family. “My father was a pathologist. He always seemed stimulated by and engaged in his work but also managed to have a balanced and full life outside of the hospital.” She believes that pathologists can play a critical role in addressing issues of inequitable access to health care by advocating for patients and joining initiatives for medically underserved populations. “It’s also well-established that provider diversity helps optimize patient care, so we can build pipelines for diverse candidates to enrich our fields.”
