Hi! I'm a PGY-2 AP/CP resident at the Medical College of WI in Milwaukee. I also attended medical school here from 2002-2006, after which I attempted the Internal Medicine pathway and soon learned of how brilliant a career in Pathology could be.

I am officially well into my PGY-2 year and my current rotation is Hemepath for 3 months. It’s been a bit of a shift from the mentality of Surgical Pathology, but the workflow is similar to that other, “foreign” world. I enjoy the types of cases we get to work up and actually have found [...]
A couple of weeks ago I posted a case of a 21-year-old young woman who presented with acute liver failure and hemolytic anemia. As suggested by one of the emails we received, this young lady had Wilson’s disease and the combination of liver failure and hemolytic anemia is a giveaway presentation of this rare disease.
In [...]
This weekend I’m joining my wife for an academic retreat in rural Wisconsin. The topic is geriatric medicine and training of rising chief residents in all specialties how to incorporate geriatric medicine into their curricula. While I was stumped at first how incorporating care of older adults could fit in to my Pathology practice, I [...]
