Emory University Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine

Happy National Pathologists’ Assistant Day!

Today, we recognize and celebrate the vital contributions of Pathologists’ Assistants in anatomic pathology and laboratory medicine. PAs are highly trained professionals who play a key role in the accurate and timely processing of laboratory specimens, including the macroscopic examination and dissection of surgical tissue.

Working across both surgical and autopsy pathology, PAs are an essential part of the care team and a driving force behind the work we do every day.

We’re grateful for their skill, dedication, and the meaningful impact they make on our department and the patients we serve.

Join us in thanking our Pathologists’ Assistants today. 👏👏👏

In honor of National Doctors’ Day, we’re proud to celebrate our Emory School of Medicine colleagues who go above and beyond every day.

This year, more than 300 doctors were nominated by colleagues who witness their impact firsthand through exceptional patient care, groundbreaking research, and a deep commitment to teaching and inspiring learners.

We’re especially excited to share that 12 of this year’s honorees come from our department, and we couldn’t be more proud of the remarkable work they do across our system.

Join us in celebrating their dedication and the difference they make for patients, families, and the future of medicine.
