Follow your Path: Coagulation Medicine (Eric Salazar)

We talked to Dr. Eric Salazar at UT San Antonio, an expert in coagulation and related disorders about his path to pathology, what he learned from his mentors (both during his training and from committees at CAP), what makes coagulation a unique specialty (you get to see patients!, your role as director of the coag lab), interesting cases that has stayed with him through the years (one involved the Houston Astros winning parade in 2017), what he loves about his job (finding systemic error and taking corrective action), how to get started in coagulation as a career,  what can residents do to learn more about coag (talk to the local coag expert at your institution, attend the AABB/ASH/ISTH meetings).
