Isiah Hiatt
MS in Histopathology, class of 2026

My journey through the Histopathology program has been incredibly rewarding and has allowed me to develop both technical and professional skills. Throughout the program, I've strengthened my study habits, collaboration, teamwork, and professional communication, all of which will support me as I attend veterinary school. In addition, I've gained hands-on experience across every stage of the diagnostic process, from necropsy and gross examination to tissue embedding, microtomy, staining, and immunohistochemistry. As well as the microscopic evaluation of normal and diseased tissues. These experiences have prepared me to enter veterinary school with a strong foundation as I work toward my long-term goal. Ultimately, my goal is to pursue production animal medicine. Using the training and techniques I've developed, I hope to provide farmers with faster, more affordable diagnostic options by performing testing in-house rather than relying on external laboratories.
