Eduardo Alcaraz Mateos
With a particular interest in cytology and dermatopathology, Eduardo currently works as a pathologist and cytopathologist at the Hospital General Universitario Morales Meseguer in Murcia, Spain. One of his most innovative achievements to date was the invention of FioNA, a simulator that helps students practice fine needle aspiration. Eduardo is also an active social media educator, using his influential online presence to discuss cases and give advice. Nominators describe him as a pioneer who makes pathology more visible for medical students, something he makes a conscious effort to achieve. “Pathology’s visibility is something that I try to change on a daily basis, not only at the hospital, but also through social media,” Eduardo says. “My favorite part of the job is providing solutions to patients one biopsy at a time, and I also enjoy the collaboration with radiologists and gastroenterologists when completing rapid on-site patient evaluation.”
