I am looking for opportunities to shadow a pathologist in the DFW area. I have been unsuccessful thus far finding a willing Dr., so you guys are my last hope! My life is hanging in the balance here, and I would be forever indebted to you 😉

If not, any suggestions on how I can go about locating a pathologist? I've found a few by searching hospital databases, but they seem to be few and far between. Most I've found were professors.

Thanks for any help 😀
 
Am not in Texas, but you might try the Directory of Pathology Training Programs online at

http://www.pathologytraining.org/

You could search for residency programs, and that usually yields a program secretary, who could put you in touch with the department's contact person who arranges med student shadowing...

It's a fairly long shot - I have never tried to arrange these as a pre-med student, so I have no idea how that will go down in terms of patient confidentiality issues and etc. Might be worth a look.
 
Thanks 👍 I'll check that out.
