  • Q&A

About Valerie A. Fitzhugh

Valerie is Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Pathology, Immunology, and Laboratory Medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She says the most unexpected moment of her career was becoming joint chair at two medical schools – "one being the school I went to!" Along her career journey, Valerie's inspiration has been Vivian Pinn, the first black woman to chair an academic pathology department (at Howard University). Her advice to the incoming generation? "Don’t be afraid to say, 'I don’t know.' Colleagues respect each other when they know their limits."
