Information about Clinical Pathology
Clinical pathology is one of the two major divisions within the medical specialty of pathology. A clinical pathologist is a medical doctor responsible for the diagnosis of diseases based on the analysis of body fluids like blood, urine, etc. He/she works in close collaboration with medical technologists.
The American Board of Pathology certifies clinical pathologists, and recognizes the following secondary specialties of clinical pathology:
For example, in France, Clinical Pathology called Medical Biology ("Biologie médicale") is both exercized by M.D and Pharm.D .
