Dr. Schrage’s interest in pathology began well before medical school. His enjoyment of childhood visits to his uncle’s community hospital laboratory, along with his innate fascination with how nature works, motivated him to pursue a career in pathology. To further his goal, Dr. Schrage studied physics at UCLA while conducting translational research in the Department of Pathology. He went on to earn a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Pathology at UCLA, where he investigated B-cell development and function as it relates to Crohn’s Disease and the role of PIM1 in lymphomagenesis. He earned his medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine, and completed his residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at the University of Washington. Dr. Schrage served as Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Pathology Fellow at the University of Washington before joining Pacific Pathology Partners in 2017.

Dr. Schrage is the clinical laboratory medical director of the Crow and Fort Belknap Service Unit hospitals of the Indian Health Service. As part of his commitment to patient care, he values input from providers and is always happy to discuss his findings.
