Renovated Workspace
for Clinical Pathology Residents Clinical pathology
residents and fellows now have individualized workspaces, with new lighting, computers and phones in a space with natural light and plenty of room. 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 chief clinical pathology residents were directly involved. Danielle Fasciano, D.O., current CP Chief Resident, acted as intermediary between staff and the residents, and helped relocate residents during the renovation. Former chief residents Erin Baumgartner, M.D., Clinical Pathology, and David Dorn, M.D., Anatomic Pathology, helped configure the design. Sandy Cummings acted as project manager. 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.
