“Pathology has a lot to offer and is truly a hidden gem within medicine,” says Michael, who started off in a surgery residency before realizing that the diagnostic side of medicine was his true calling. He is currently a second-year neuropathology fellow at the University of Alabama-Birmingham Department of Pathology and host of the Diversity in Pathology podcast, which educates people on the range of experiences and backgrounds in pathology. He believes that mental health should be discussed and emphasized more in professional settings to better balance the demands of training and working in the field.
