A joyous overview of Neuropathology awaits you!

Ever since she was six years old, Laura Schmitt, MD, FRCPC, knew she wanted to go into medicine, work on the brain, and cure epilepsy (for dogs & humans!).

Join host Cameron Wong as he delves into this huge field of medicine with Dr. Schmitt. You’ll learn why Neuropathology is at the cutting edge of change, what residency looks like, what a typical work day looks like; and more!

According to Dr. Schmitt, one of the best things about Neuropathology is sitting at a microscope looking at the brain, neurons, and glia... every… single… day!

Some simple but candid advice for med students on their journey to choosing a specialty: Make sure you love what you do. Not only will you be happier – but you’ll just be a better medical specialist!
