SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS FROM LAST YEAR HAD THIS TO SAY…
“The American Society of Cytopathology meeting reinforces why we each of us has chosen our profession/field… We are all ‘saving lives, one cell at a time.’ I’m very grateful for being chosen for the Cytotechnologist scholarship award this year in Las Vegas.”
Julie DeLuca, BS, CT(ASCP)
Roswell Park Cancer Institute
“It was an amazing experience. There is nothing quite like walking into a room with hundreds of people and without saying a word knowing you have something in common with every one of them.”
Courtney Robinson BS, CT(ASCP)
University of Kansas Medical Center
“Being a first time attendee, the meeting definitely gave me a platform to meet the recognized experts in my field, interact with the peers and learn the latest trends in cytology through interactive scientific sessions.”
Gitika Aggarwal, MD
Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Center
“I feel that the meeting was an important stepping stone on my career path as a cytopathologist. Presenting my poster gave me the opportunity to give something back to the field of cytopathology while meeting new colleagues in the process.”
Kim Berg, MD
Northwestern Memorial Hospitalr
“I had a fantastic experience at the 60th Annual Scientific Meeting in Las Vegas. The large talks available to all attendees were very educational and it was a privilege to hear renowned pathologists such as Dr. Pitman, Dr. Westra and Dr. Austin (to highlight just a few) speak.”
