Anatomic pathology
Anatomic pathologists study the organs, tissue and cells to make exact
diagnoses as to what caused that specimen to be removed from the patient.
Through the use of biopsy, autopsy, fine-needle aspiration or surgery, this
physician will conduct examinations from gross to microscopic. Where the
clinical pathologist relies on testing and analysis, the anatomic pathologists
determinations come largely from visual inspection. They remain alert for
unexpected processes at work. Residency training for the anatomic pathologist
is three years.
Examples:
• forensic pathology,
• autopsy and
• surgical pathology.
