Biography

Dr. Ryan Craig, originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, graduated from the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans School of Medicine. Dr. Craig completed his pathology residency and hematopathology fellowship training at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. He currently serves as the program director for the pathology residency program at the Tulane University School of Medicine. 

Dr. Craig chose to teach at Tulane because he wanted to be in New Orleans, closer to family, and was drawn to Tulane’s hematopathology program. He believes New Orleans is the greatest city in the world, offering numerous fun activities throughout the year. His favorite restaurant in New Orleans is Coquette, although he finds it difficult to choose just one. In his personal time, Dr. Craig enjoys traveling, photography, and participating in most sports.
