About L. Jeffrey Medeiros

Jeffrey is Professor and Chair of the Department of Hematopathology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Coming from a family of teachers, he thought he would become a schoolteacher himself, but says, “One of the great things about pathology is that there are many opportunities for teaching and mentoring students and trainees. It is a good fit for me.” Jeffrey's main concern is how little attention pathology gets in medical school, causing current graduates to know “less pathology than ever.” But he is determined nonetheless, with nominators describing his dedication to medicine and teaching as “unsurpassed.”
