Pathology, Anatomic and Clinical

• A pathologist specializes in laboratory medicine. The primary role of pathologists is to examine specimens of cells, tissue, organs and body fluids in order to identify diseases. The range of material examined by pathologists includes microscopic individual cells, portions of an organ, entire organs or an entire body for autopsy. In addition, pathologists provide medical supervision to the clinical laboratory, consultative services in related clinical-pathological patient care settings, and participate in research.
