Are you wondering what it looks like when pathology faculty and residents come together to carve Halloween pumpkins?

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Kentucky has set the bar pretty high this year!
Recently, we broke out our tools and props for some good old-fashioned pumpkin carving. Take a look at the spooky and creative pumpkins our faculty and residents created:

Would you dare enter the gross room? What if you knew what was in it – containers of organs and tissue samples? Those who do go in find it either interesting or, well, gross, said Shawna Baker, MBA, PA (ASCP)CM, associate director of anatomic pathology at UK HealthCare.

Departmental Recognition and Congratulations – July 2019 American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Awards: Two of our residents/fellows and their mentor, Dr. Alison Woodworth, have received great news from the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC). Both Erin Schuler, PhD and Emily Bachert, MD have submitted abstracts for this year’s AACC annual meeting and both received significant recognition for their work. Emily submitted an abstract on her work on the Daily lab’s choosing wisely project and her work received a Distinguished Abstract Award from the AACC Academy.

UKHC Pathology and Laboratory Medicine would like to welcome our newest faculty members. They will be working with us in various diversified specialties as we continue to grow.

As a longtime pathologist at the University of Kentucky, Dr. Charles Lutz is no stranger to cancer.

Lutz has spent much of his career in the lab, helping patients behind the scenes. At the UK Markey Cancer Center, he works in molecular diagnosis and HLA tissue typing in bone marrow transplantation for leukemia and other cancers. He also helps match patients in end-stage organ failure with an appropriate solid organ transplant for the UK Transplant Center.

The department celebrated the end of the academic year with its annual Senior Banquet to honor the trainees graduating from our program.

Dr. Greg Davis is a teacher — of students, of peers, of listeners and of juries. The many hats he wears have taken him around the world and back to his beloved Kentucky, all in service to the Hippocratic Oath and his chosen profession of forensic pathology.

There's a joke that pathologists are asocial, more comfortable with a microscope than with people. This is certainly not true of Davis, whose intellectual skill and facility with others make him an ideal teacher in all walks of life.
