Quotes from Jerad Gardner

On leaving a legacy of positive impact:

“I want to look back at the end of my career and say to myself, ‘I cared for my patients like I would my own family. I mentored and educated my students, residents, and fellows so that they could have satisfying careers and help their own patients. I left pathology at least a little bit better than I found it.’”

On raising the profile of pathology:

“Pathology is headed beyond the paraffin curtain and out of the laboratory! We will still work in the lab, of course, but our non-pathologist colleagues, our patients, and the public will get to know who we are and why we are important, thanks to the many pathologists who publicly represent our specialty so well on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media.”

On the most unexpected moment of his career:

“There was a point last year when I realized that my YouTube pathology videos were being viewed every single hour of every single day, meaning that I am teaching even while I am sleeping! As an educator, that is powerful and meaningful.”
