Tahmina Sultana

I am a 2024 graduating pathology resident at McGill University. My aim is to contribute to improve women’s health which encourages me to get expertise in the arena of gynaecologic pathology beside general surgical pathology. Recently, I produced 10 high quality grossing videos which is working as supplementary teaching tool to learn appropriate grossing technique in McGill pathology department. The videos got published in Dr. GAO’s 3rd edition of the “Pathology Review and Practice Guide” which is going to make these teaching tools available to other institutions too. I also worked as a principal investigator on a project regarding the factors related to recurrence of phyllodes in breast. Currently, I am working on a project to identify the molecular alteration of poorly differentiated, undifferentiated, dedifferentiated endometrial carcinoma.
