Let’s debunk a few misconceptions about General Pathology – starting with specialists in this field are introverts. It’s just not true!

Join host Cameron Wong (btw – he’s a new host to the show, and this is his first ep!), as he sits down with Deepti Ravi, MD, FRCPC to delve into this enormous specialty and all that it encompasses. They’ll touch on the many opportunities in rural/community practice and academic practice; life/work integration; qualities residency programs look for, and more! Learn about the many leadership and collaborative roles available in this specialty. 

You’ll hear genuine passion as Dr. Ravi shares her undeniable affection for her specialty. She quite simply highlights respect and admiration for her introvert and extrovert colleagues. Let’s just say her humility and patience are true traits of a General Pathologist.
