What We Do
PathElective provides an opportunity to bring high-quality pathology experiences to a broader audience.
“The scope and importance of pathology and laboratory continues to grow exponentially. From detecting morphologic abnormalities to single-cell nucleotide changes (and tracking those changes throughout the course of treatment)—that is powerful, and everyone should know about that.”
Kamran M. Mirza, MD PhD
How PathElective has brought reliable scientific information to social media
Brought reliable, scientific, and fun information to its followers using the PathPod platform
Started a Twitter social media following using PathPod as the steam behind the movement
Gained team members from around the country to help put together 18 courses in clinical and anatomic pathology
Worked to build a website that could support a free, crowdsourced, high-quality pathology elective
Introduced PathElective to a small group of students at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine to combat stagnant medical education in the midst of COVID-19
Fostered an interactive, fun learning environment for the students of PathElective while continuing to grow PathPod
Worked with pathology program directors and medical school administrators to offer PathElective as a recognized pathology elective
“The creation of this universally accessible pathology elective may be Dr. Mirza’s most brilliant idea yet. Now medical students everywhere will have the opportunity to discover the wonderful world of pathology from wherever they may be!”
Dr. Dana Razzano
