Today my guest is hematopathologist Dr David Li. What we discuss with Dr Li: His early introduction to pathology through a neuropathology research lab at the University of Washington. The influence of strong mentors and role models in shaping his path toward hematopathology. His mother’s diagnoses with breast and pancreatic cancer, and how he served as a bridge to help her understand complex pathology reports. The communication gap that often exists between patients and providers when it comes to pathology results. Founding a patient pathology clinic at Mayo Clinic–Jacksonville to make pathology more patient-centered. Stories of diverse patients who benefited from the pathology clinic. The role of digital pathology in making pathology clinics accessible across the country and internationally. Dr. Li’s own experience with hereditary cancer risk and his prostate cancer diagnosis. Using social media, especially TikTok to raise awareness about genetic testing, men’s cancer risk, and early detection. His vision for a future where pathology clinics are a routine part of oncology care, supported by digital tools and multidisciplinary collaboration.   Links for this episode: The Path to PathA Pathologists' Assistant Shadowing Network Health Podcast Network  LabVine Learning Dress A Med scrubs Digital Pathology Club   Dr Li on TikTok   People of Pathology Podcast: Twitter Instagram
