Biography

Dr. McClure attended the University of Toronto where she received her B.Sc. in Biology in 1989, and her M.Sc. in Medical Biophysics in 1991. She stayed in Toronto for her medical training, and received her MD degree in 1994. She then relocated to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota where she completed residencies in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology followed by fellowships in Surgical Pathology and Hematopathology. In 2002, she joined the staff at Mayo Clinic as a pathologist in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, where she has practiced for over 10 years. During her time at Mayo, Dr. McClure maintained a busy, international clinical pathology practice and was active in teaching medical students, residents, fellows and graduate students through the Mayo Medical School, where she was an associate professor.
