Pathologist Duties and Responsibilities
While a pathologist’s day-to-day duties and responsibilities are determined by where they work, there are many core tasks associated with the role. Based on our analysis of job listings, these include:
Analyze and Test Samples Using microscopes and other testing tools, pathologists analyze samples of blood, urine, tissue, and other bodily specimens and run tests. They use their understanding of diseases to look for abnormalities in samples that could indicate the patient has a blood disorder, cancer, or other condition.
Ensure Accurate Test Results To prevent accuracy issues, pathologists first calibrate testing equipment to ensure it performs within standards. When running tests, they also use checklists, medical software, and retests to get thorough and precise results.
Diagnose Diseases Using information gathered through tests and analyses, pathologists determine the most likely disease diagnosis and communicate this to the patient’s physician. They also may suggest potential treatment options.
Write Reports Usually using electronic medical record software, pathologists write thorough pathology reports describing the specimens tested, results of all tests, and the diagnosis.
Perform Research Pathologists conduct regular research to stay current with ways to identify and treat diseases. They can use their findings to make new tests and develop treatment options.
Pathologist Skills and Qualifications
Successful pathologists not only have extensive medical knowledge of diseases but are also skilled analysts and medical researchers. Along with a medical doctor degree, active medical license, and certification in pathology, employers desire these skills for pathologists:
- Specimen analysis – pathologists properly use lab equipment to look at samples and perform tests to accurately analyze bodily fluids and tissue specimens
- Familiarity with diseases – they have a thorough understanding of diseases within their specialty and how they present themselves in the body
- Research skills – performing research using electronic databases and medical literature allows pathologists to improve testing methods and find new treatments
- Attention to detail – to give accurate test results and diagnoses, pathologists need an eye for small details to avoid mixing up samples or performing incorrect calculations
- Communication skills – pathologists have strong oral and written communication skills to convey their findings clearly to physicians and write detailed technical reports
Pathologist Education and Training
Like other medical specialists, pathologists need to hold a Doctor of Medicine degree, complete a residency, and obtain a medical license. They first complete a bachelor’s degree program that includes the prerequisite science, math, and English coursework needed for medical school admission. To qualify to apply for medical school, aspiring pathologists take the Medical College Admission Test. Once accepted into a medical school program, students complete a combination of medical classes and laboratory work for their first two years and perform clinical rotations at a medical facility for the last two years of the program. Medical school graduates continue with a pathology residency program that lasts for around four years. After finishing the residency, they earn certification from the American Board of Pathology and take their state’s medical licensing exam to qualify to work as a pathologist.
Pathologist Salary and Outlook
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) places pathologists in a group with other physicians and surgeons it does not list separately. It lists a median annual salary of $208,000 for these physicians. Pathologists in the 10th percentile make around $60,000, and the best-paid make over $208,000 a year. Common benefits employers offer pathologists include paid vacation and training, annual bonuses, retirement plans, and insurance benefits. Physicians and surgeons are expected to see above-average job growth of 13 percent through 2026. As people age and need medical tests and treatments, medical facilities will hire more doctors to provide care. Pathologists may have the best prospects if they practice in rural areas that have physician shortages.
