The Pathologists’ Assistant profession was created at Duke, with the first class of students admitted to the two-year program in 1969.

Last year, Duke University School of Medicine’s multimedia producer Jim Rogalski captured the excitement of the ceremony in a video, and featured it on their website’s Newsroom as part of a story titled “School of Medicine Welcomes 2023 Incoming Classes.” Watch the two-minute video.
