Cytopathology Fellows

My name is Mary Doan, and I was born and raised in Saint Louis, Missouri. I attended Loyola University Chicago for undergrad before heading to Saint Louis University School of Medicine to complete my medical education. I had the opportunity to do a post-sophomore fellowship in the pathology department at SLU during my time there, which instilled in me a long-lasting love for pathology, and cytopathology in particular. Baylor College of Medicine was my home for my AP/CP residency, and I have been lucky enough to stay on as the cytopathology fellow for the 24-25 academic year.

Baylor has been a wonderful place to train—the faculty are all very supportive, and my fellow trainees are some of the most amazing people I have ever met. The various training environments that we have access to give us lots of exposure to all kinds of patients and specimens. It has been an absolutely fantastic experience to work in a collaborative environment with exceptional pathologists.

My name is Meg Parham and I was born and raised in North Carolina. I attended medical school at the University of South Carolina on a United States Navy scholarship and subsequently served 5 years in the Navy at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD, Camp Lejeune, NC, and Naval Station Great Lakes in North Chicago, IL in Naval flight medicine. I completed AP/CP residency training at Baylor College of Medicine and stayed at BCM to complete a Cytopathology fellowship. I am looking forward to a Molecular Genetic Pathology fellowship next year at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center here in Houston, Texas. I am interested in applying molecular genetic technologies to cytologic specimens to optimize diagnostic opportunities for patients from minimally invasive procedures. BCM offers a variety of training environments with exposure to a wide variety of patient populations that ensure a well-rounded educational experience. Our faculty are outstanding and I am thankful for the opportunity to train here.
