Drexel Resources
Drexel University's Pathologists' Assistant Program has done so many wonderful things for me, both professionally and personally. Not only has it given me a rewarding and interesting career, but I now have more confidence in myself and my abilities, as well as a growing network of friends, mentors and peers. I am grateful for the opportunities that the program has given me and would highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking a fulfilling career as a Pathologists' Assistant. I am extremely proud to be an alumnus of Drexel University's Pathologists' Assistant graduate program.
