About Christopher Cogbill

Hi! I'm a PGY-3 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'm pursuing hematopathology for my fellowship but in the meantime trying to stay involved in as much general pathology that I can. Thus, here I am, excited about H&Es, CDs, and dRVVTs!!!
