Dr. Rachel Neto DACVP
Dr. Trainor has been instrumental in my dermatopathology training during my dermatology residency. She provides a patient and encouraging environment to learn a difficult subject matter that was invaluable both during my residency as well as boards prep. I highly recommend her services to any dermatology or pathology resident in their training and beyond.
Dr. Kimberly Smart DACVD
Dr Trainor does an amazing job at making a daunting subject feel easily digestible. Her lectures are helpful but to the point and the histology photos she uses to teach are high definition and very well labelled. I would recommend this course to any anatomic pathology resident, whether or not boards are in their future.
