Making The Rounds With Founding Dean Barbara Atkinson

Many community members have asked me about my personal journey to leadership. We all arrive in leadership positions from different paths. When I started medical school I was pretty shy and not someone you would expect to become a leader.   However, by the time I finished medical school at Thomas Jefferson University and residency training at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, I was asked to join the Penn Medicine faculty and became the director of the Cytopathology Laboratory of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Cytopathology is a subspecialty of Pathology where you look at cells through a microscope to make the
diagnosis of cancer.
