Human pathology is a specialty in the practice of medicine requiring a medical degree and residency training in one or both branches of pathology (anatomic and clinical pathology) or their subspecialties, as approved by the American Board of Pathology.
To become a pathologist a medical graduate must serve a three to four year residency incorporating the major disciplines of anatomic and clinical pathology.
Anatomic pathology encompasses surgical pathology, cytology and autopsy pathology. Clinical pathology includes all of the functions performed in the analytical work of the clinical laboratory such as hematology, chemistry, blood banking, and microbiology.
Additional board certifications exist for those pathologists who sub-specialize and include such fields as: Blood Banking, Clinical Chemistry, Cytopathology, Dermatopathology, Forensic Pathology, Hematopathology, Neuropathology, and Pediatric Pathology.
