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.
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.
Derek Allison, MD
Dr. Allison graduated from Georgetown University School of Medicine. He completed his residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at Johns Hopkins University, where he further completed his Cytopathology fellowship with a focus on Genitourinary (GU) Pathology also at Johns Hopkins.
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.
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.
The University of Kentucky Center for Health Services Research (CHSR), which serves as a connector, catalyst and creator at UK and UK HealthCare, announces the launch of its new website and seeks membership applicants for its efforts in applying research to optimize health care delivery. The CHSR is focused on creating, testing, and scaling next-generation health services research solutions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of health delivery within Kentucky and beyond.
