Why did you chose Mayo Clinic for your fellowship? I chose Mayo Clinic for my Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology fellowship because of its world-renowned faculty and the unparalleled breadth of neoplastic and non-neoplastic entities. I also had the privilege of working with and being inspired by BST pathologists who trained at Mayo Clinic, which reinforced my decision to pursue a fellowship here. Finally, I was drawn to Mayo Clinic's commitment to putting the needs of the patient first, a value that strongly aligns with my own approach to patient care and aspirations as a pathologist.
