What drew you to the program? I chose Mayo Clinic for my Pulmonary Pathology Fellowship because of its exceptional case complexity and volume, as well as its reputation as a destination for challenging consultation cases. During the interview process, Mayo’s organized educational curriculum gave me confidence that I would be well prepared to become an outstanding pulmonary pathologist.
