This summer returning and new clinical pathology residents and fellows were welcomed into a newly renovated, modern workspace.

Residents and fellows now have individualized workspaces, with new lighting, computers and phones in a space with natural light and plenty of room in which to work.

In addition to the assistance of several administration and staff members who dedicated their time and effort to providing this space, individuals like Israel Ponce-Rodriguez and the IT team helped equip the new space, installing computers and other technical equipment.

Many former and past chief clinical pathology residents were directly involved in the project. Danielle Fasciano, D.O., current CP Chief Resident, acted as an intermediary between staff and the residents to offer input, and helped relocate residents during the renovation. Former chief residents Erin Baumgartner, M.D., Clinical Pathology, and David Dorn, M.D., Anatomic Pathology helped to configure the space’s design.

Much of the planning of the space occurred during Pathology Leadership meetings where individuals like George Kuruvilla were able to provide input, financial analysis and estimates for the project.

Sandy Cummings acted as project manager for the renovation and kept everyone involved on track.

The fresh, new space is now ready for residents and fellows to enjoy; it would not have been possible without numerous helping hands.
