Ahmed Shah, M.D., M.S.

Medical School: University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
Residency: McMaster University, Montreal, Canada

What drew you to our program? To attain competency in soft tissue and bone pathology, it is crucial to be at a center that receives a large volume of cases (especially consult service). Mayo Clinic has one of the world's busiest sarcoma services, along with leading global experts in the field. The fellowship here will enable me to attain the expertise necessary to work at my future job as a Soft Tissue Pathologist and Dermatopathologist in Alberta Health Services/Alberta Precision Laboratories in Canada.

What are you most excited about experiencing during your fellowship? Learning under such great scholarly mentors and experts in the field has been a privilege. I get excited about all the complex cases, extensive teaching and research opportunities. Also, it has been great getting to know my colleagues outside of work through hiking, conversation, libations or simply watching a sports match.
