98 | Dr. Elizabeth Roberts on adventure sports, training & anatomical pathology

Dr. Maple Goh

Dr. Elizabeth Roberts is a Nelson-based anatomical pathologist who has worked both for Te Whatu Ora and MedLab South. She graduated from Otago University and pursued pathology training with Auckland, Oregon Health Science University, and Harvard University. She works part-time, and is the past treasurer of the RCPA NZ committee. She has many other passions, including mountain biking, kitesurfing, tramping, climbing, hunting and trapping pests. Since the recording of the episode, Dr. Roberts is now Vice President of the RCPA. 

In this episode, we discuss her journey into anatomical pathology and the training required, her choice for part-time mahi permanently, pathology fellowships overseas, employment prospects (private vs public) for pathology, her extensive list of adventure sports and favorite memories, and what is next as she looks towards retirement.
