Biography

Ryan Craig, originally from Baton Rouge, LA, graduated from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center - School of Medicine in New Orleans, where he developed a strong interest in pathology and specifically hematopathology. Ryan completed his AP/CP residency and hematopathology fellowship training at University of Utah in Salt Lake City. He currently serves as Program Director for the Pathology Residency Program at Tulane University School of Medicine. In his personal time, Ryan enjoys traveling, photography, and participating in most sports. His favorite restaurant in New Orleans is Coquette, although he finds it difficult to choose just one.

Ryan 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.
