Department leaders, faculty, staff, residents and fellows alike came together in honor of Dr. Vishnu Reddy on March 12, to celebrate the dedication of the Surgical Pathology conference room in North Pavilion, Room 3554. The room was renovated to facilitate a multi-headed microscope for surgical pathology consultations. Several large screens are mounted on the walls, to allow for the sharing of the slides via telemedicine conference, both locally, among department offices, and with our partners in in the Community Pathology Practice Program, at sites in Anniston, Gadsden and Montgomery.
