Pathology is a wide-ranging field of medicine that studies many different types of diseases.

Dr. Najmuddin completed a surgical pathway fellowship as well as serving as a clinical instructor at the University of Texas medical branch, Galveston.  He completed a cytopathology fellowship at the University of Minnesota Laboratory Sciences and Pathology, Minnesota. Dr. Najmuddin completed a residency in anatomic and clinical pathology at Saint Louis University.  He earned a master of science in medical genetics from the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom; and his medical degree from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal University, Karnataka, India

In his personal time, Dr. Najmuddin is an avid musician who sings and plays many different instruments.  He is involved with “Music for a Cause,” an annual music festival that raises funds for social causes in Singapore. He relocated to West Plains along with his wife and two children.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Najmuddin as the new director of OMC Pathology,” says Josh Reeves, Executive Director of Operations, OMC.  “His expertise will provide invaluable support to our providers across all of OMC’s specialties. ”
