Episode 216: Dr David Li - Using Personal Experience To Transform Patient Understanding In Pathology

Listen Later

Today my guest is hematopathologist Dr David Li.

What we discuss with Dr Li:

  • His early introduction to pathology through a neuropathology research lab at the University of Washington.
  • The influence of strong mentors and role models in shaping his path toward hematopathology.
  • His mother’s diagnoses with breast and pancreatic cancer, and how he served as a bridge to help her understand complex pathology reports.
  • The communication gap that often exists between patients and providers when it comes to pathology results.
  • Founding a patient pathology clinic at Mayo Clinic–Jacksonville to make pathology more patient-centered.
  • Stories of diverse patients who benefited from the pathology clinic.
  • The role of digital pathology in making pathology clinics accessible across the country and internationally.
  • Dr. Li’s own experience with hereditary cancer risk and his prostate cancer diagnosis.
  • Using social media, especially TikTok to raise awareness about genetic testing, men’s cancer risk, and early detection.
  • His vision for a future where pathology clinics are a routine part of oncology care, supported by digital tools and multidisciplinary collaboration.
