What do Anatomic & Clinical Pathology Physicians do?
Anatomic & Clinical Pathology Physicians diagnose diseases by studying human tissues, cells, and bodily fluids. Anatomic pathology focuses on surgical specimens, biopsies, and autopsies, while clinical pathology analyzes blood, urine, and other bodily fluids in a laboratory setting.
They serve as consultants to other doctors, interpret laboratory and molecular test results, perform and interpret autopsies, oversee laboratory operations, and contribute to the development of new diagnostic tests and procedures.
Anatomic Pathology
What they do: Examine organs, tissues, and cells under a microscope to diagnose disease.
Specimens examined: Tissues from biopsies, surgical resections, and autopsies.
Key activities:
- Surgical pathology (evaluating surgical resections).
- Cytopathology (studying cells from fluids, tissues, and secretions).
- Performing and interpreting autopsies.
- Subspecialties include neuropathology (diseases of the nervous system), dermatopathology (skin diseases), and hematopathology (diseases of the blood and lymph nodes).
Clinical Pathology
What they do: Diagnose disease by laboratory analysis of bodily fluids and tissues.
Laboratory areas: Chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunology, and blood banks (transfusion medicine).
Key activities:
- Overseeing and managing hospital laboratories.
- Consulting with other medical professionals on the interpretation of complex lab results.
- Develop new tests and improve quality control for existing tests.
- Managing blood banks and other complex laboratory services.
Anatomic & Clinical Pathology
Subspecialties: Both anatomic and clinical pathology have various subspecialties focusing on specific organ systems or disease types, such as molecular genetic pathology and forensic pathology.
The “doctor’s doctor”: Pathologists act as consultants to other medical professionals, providing crucial diagnostic information that guides patient treatment.
Diagnosis: Their diagnoses are fundamental to effective therapy, particularly for conditions like cancer, where individualized, targeted treatments are increasingly important.
