Clarissa Jordan, M.D.

Medical school: Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
Residency: Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN

What drew you to our program? I trained at Mayo Clinic for my anatomic and clinical pathology residency. So, I was familiar with the institution's Hematopathology program, and am immensely grateful for the opportunity to continue my training here. The division of DLMP's dedication to fellow education is truly exceptional, from Hematopathology faculty, to our education specialists (covering topics in morphology, flow cytometry, molecular hematopathology, metabolic hematopathology, etc.) to our program staff. Further, the level of trainee support at Mayo Clinic is second to none which allows trainees to focus on learning and education as well as take advantage of numerous opportunities for research endeavors.

What are you most excited about experiencing during your fellowship? Given that we both see high volume and varied complexity of cases from our robust in-house services and our considerable consult services, I'm excited to experience these unparalleled learning opportunities. With the excellent clinical training, education, and research opportunities here at Mayo Clinic, I know I will be well-prepared for independent practice next year.
