Syed T. Hoda
Syed is Clinical Associate Professor and Director of Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology at NYU Langone Health. He says global medical culture needs to detox from the toxic, stressful, stiff profession he believes it has become. “Medicine needs a stat injection of creativity and wandering, instead of continuing the IV drip of aggression.” This is echoed in his advice for new professionals. “You are a person who has become a pathologist, and it is worth prioritizing the person first above any career considerations [...] Growing as a person is the best way to grow as a pathologist – and far more important.”
