Pathology can range from managing chronic illnesses to diagnosing malignant diseases. Pathologists work closely with surgeons, radiologists, and oncologists and use gross, microscopic, immunologic, genetic, and molecular modalities to determine the presence of disease. Pathology is critical to the research and advancement of medicine, including the treatment of infectious diseases and cancer.
Pathologists often choose to specialize further through fellowship training for one to two years, which provides advanced education and practical experience in specific areas of pathology, such as surgical pathology, cytopathology, hematopathology, neuropathology, or forensic pathology.
