Pathologist Job Description

A pathologist is a doctor who studies diseases and the ways they interact in the body.

They usually specialize in a specific organ or tissue.

Some pathologists specialize in cancer, while others examine infections, reproductive issues, or gastrointestinal conditions.

A pathologist examines and diagnoses diseases by examining slides of tissues and fluids under a microscope.

Pathologists also use laboratory techniques and tests to diagnose diseases, including blood tests, urine and feces tests, and biopsies.

To become a pathologist, a doctor must complete a medical degree and then complete a clinical residency.

A pathologist then completes a fellowship, which may last
