  During my residency, presentation of weekly ocular pathology rounds and attendance of ocular pathology workshop gave me a strong background in pathology of the eye. Novel research using avian malaria built expertise in the use of appropriate animal models, specific knowledge of hemoparasites, as well as mosquito culture and microscopic pathology. At the University of Illinois, diagnostic laboratory work and research gave me a strong understanding of infectious and neoplastic diseases, as well as special stains and immunohistochemical options to identify organisms or cell of origin in tissue section. Additionally I received basic training on preparation of specimens for and performance of transmission microscopy.
