Dr. Patrick Emanuel is a dermatopathologist based in Lima, Peru. He also consults for IGENZ molecular laboratory, Pathlab Bay of Plenty, and the Skin Institute (all based in New Zealand). He is an Honorary Associate Professor at the University of Auckland and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Icahn Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. Patrick’s academic interests include cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, margin control surgery, and the application of molecular techniques to cutaneous tumours.
In this episode, we discuss his journey from Dunedin, to Nelson, to America, then to Peru. We talk about his pathway into dermatopathology, the training involved, the daily routines, and the pay disparity for residency in US. We discuss his work-life balance, practicing medicine in a second language, and the capacity for remote work as a pathologist.
