Season 2 | Episode #1: Through War, Cancer, and Boards: A Pathologist’s Unbreakable Journey
Connection is at the heart of the CAP Foundation’s work—and it’s powerfully reflected in the story of Sandra Haddad, MD. Shared in partnership with Ace My Path, Dr. Haddad’s journey is a deeply human account of resilience shaped by war, illness, mentorship, and the courage to begin again. More than a story about training and certification, her experience shows how progress in pathology is built through connection—between people, across borders, and in the moments when support matters most. As you listen, we invite you to reflect on the connections that have shaped your own path—and the ones you’re helping create for others.
Ace My Path
The CAP Foundation, in collaboration with Ace My Path, is collecting first-hand stories from IMGs whose journeys reflect resilience, determination, and a deep commitment to patient care. Whether you trained in a large academic hospital or a resource-limited setting, your experience carries wisdom that can guide and inspire others.
For many IMGs, the road into U.S. pathology is filled with challenges—new systems, licensure barriers, cultural adjustments, financial strain, and at times, the feeling of navigating it all alone. Yet we also know these journeys are marked by exceptional perseverance, global perspective, and a passion for advancing our specialty.
We want to honor and highlight these stories. Your journey could:
- Encourage another IMG who is struggling
- Illuminate the unique strengths IMGs bring to the field
- Help raise awareness of the barriers—and opportunities—in pathology
- Strengthen the global community of learners and professionals
- Stories may be shared anonymously or with attribution—whatever feels most comfortable for you. pathology.
