She then began a decades-long association with the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas, earning a Ph.D., completing her pathology residency and postdoctoral fellowship, and ultimately rising to Director of Cytopathology and Barbara F. Atkinson Endowed Professor of Pathology.The much-honored Dr. Fan has been twice cited as a "Top Doctor," and noted for "Excellence in Teaching." She is an acknowledged authority in her field with hundreds of scholarly articles and presentations to her credit. …She is the co-editor of a popular cytopathology review book and a Chinese textbook on exfoliative cytopathology.Dr. Fan is excited to join the City of Hope family, where she says “the leadership has great visions, the physician group has great diversity, and the resource and support for clinical service and research are strong.”
