Pathology

Pathologists are specialist physicians who conduct research and perform testing on medical specimens to diagnose and treat diseases. They primarily work in hospitals and medical centers, utilizing laboratory tools to run tests and analyze specimens for the presence of diseases. In addition to their diagnostic role, pathologists also contribute to research efforts. While they do not directly treat patients, they collaborate with physicians to assist in diagnoses and treatment plans. General Responsibilities: 1. Provide advice and interpretation of test results and determine the need for further investigations. 2. Identify abnormalities in samples that indicate the presence of diseases and communicate this information to the relevant medical practitioners. 3. Suggest potential treatment options based on test results and diagnoses. 4. Write comprehensive pathology reports that detail the specimens tested, test results, and final diagnosis. 5. Ensure the accuracy of test results by meticulously examining and interacting with a diverse range of patients, utilizing diagnostic skills to determine the necessary tests to be carried out.
