Rodger C. Haggitt, M.D.
Professor and Director of Anatomic Pathology, 1984-2000

Dr. Rodger Haggitt, Professor of Pathology and Director of Anatomic Pathology from 1984 to 2000, died in June 2000 under tragic circumstances. He was one of the most highly respected pathologists in the country and in the world, whose knowledge of surgical pathology and diagnostic accuracy became legendary. He mentored many residents and fellows, and traveled throughout the work as an invited speaker at professional meetings. Dr. Haggitt developed an interest in gastrointestinal and liver pathology from the time of his residency. He joined the University of Washington to develop a program in gastrointestinal pathology that had a close interaction with clinical and research work conducted in the Division of Gastroenterology of the Department of Medicine. Through their common interests, Dr. Haggitt developed a life-long professional and personal relationship with Dr. Cyrus Rubin, one of the greatest names in gastroenterology. After his death, the gastrointestinal section of the US and Canadian Academy of Pathology was renamed the “ Roger C. Haggitt Society of Gastrointestinal Pathology.”
