Pathology is a career in biology that studies pathogens and disease, how they spread and the prevention of them. They also verify and interpret blood and tissue samples in order to diagnose and treat patients, and they are the mystery-solvers, searching for causes and diagnoses. There are many different branches of this career, but I have chosen clinical pathology as my branch. Clinical pathologists work more closely in the environment of diagnosis and treatment of patients. They facilitate testing
Clinical Pathology Accreditation (CPA) is responsible for evaluating and accrediting medical laboratories in both the private and public sector. CPA is the primary accreditation organization and when a laboratory fulfils the standards which is required by the CPA that medical laboratory is acknowledged as a competent laboratory. Although becoming an accredited laboratory is voluntary most laboratories decide to become accredited because they need the laboratory to be recognized as a trustworthy lab

molecular pathology both fall within the medical science branch of pathology where the primary concern is the examination of tissues, body fluids, and organs to aid in the diagnosis of diseases. Histopathology favours biopsies ‘fixed’ on glass slides for examination whereas molecular pathology concentrates its efforts at a molecular and genetic level to aid in diagnosis. For: Sharing certain aspects of practice with other disciplines of pathology like clinical pathology, anatomic pathology, biochemistry
From my early years at the Belarusian State Medical University, I remember thinking of pathology as something that was almost magical – the ability to discover the underlying roots of diseases when experienced surgeons, oncologists, and cardiologists were not able to find a solution – therefore, it was natural that I felt drawn to it. I quickly developed an insatiable curiosity and unyielding fascination with it and decided to be a pathologist; once it became clear to me that this is what I wanted
and to stop consumer discrimination related to preexisting medical conditions. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 32 million uninsured people will be insured by 2019. This will increase the volume of specimens and biopsies coming into pathology laboratories. Due to this increased volume, many large laboratories and hospitals will see a substantial increase in their revenue and hence increasing the demand for PAs. The low reimbursement rate of Affordable Care Act has forced many small labs
This paper argues why veterinary pathology is a good career choice for me. I will share the history of veterinary pathology and how it came to be. I will also share the college of my choice, and go more into detail of the college. Along with this, I have also shared the major I have chosen and how I can be successful in this major. I have stated the pathway to becoming a successful veterinary pathologist, and explained all of the steps including all of the requirements. I shared one veterinary pathologist’
I want the whole package when it comes to a residency. I want a rigorous well rounded program with a large number of diverse specimens and cases. I want the potential to specialize in neuropathology and forensic pathology. Research opportunities and support are also important to me. I want to make my impact on the world. I believe my work as a future pathologist will allow me to do just that to the full extent. In my family thus far we've all been successful in attaining

My love and passion for Animal Medicine and Health guided my choice in pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Medicine from the College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Qassim University. Having chosen a specialization in Veterinary Medicine, coupled with a higher academic performance with a GPA of 3.82/5, I will be completing my Master degree from the University of Rhode Island in Medical laboratory Science with a bias in Cytopathology in 2014. In partial fulfillment of the requirements
am a medical intern at the King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and graduated in May 2016, with honor degree. I have always been fascinated by Pathology as a science and as a career. I have been interested in Pathology since I was a high school student, so I chose to spend my first elective summer training in Pathology to grasp a practical understanding of the field. This choice provided me a great opportunity to be involved in clinico-pathological correlation and observing laboratory
Before jumping right into one career it’s always good to have an alternative.95% of people say that once they chose an occupation/career 9/10 times they change it. A Entrepreneur, Veterinarian, Medical Examiner have all caught my attention .At the End of this paper I will be able to tell you & explain to you what path way best fits me & the one that I will be pursuing right after I graduate high school. Being a successful entrepreneur requires tons of work & if you can’t produce
Pathology is more than a science, its an art too. In my first year of medical school at Sudan’s University of Khartoum, my love of photography led me daily to capture the sunset over the White and Blue Niles. In my second year, another form of art astonished me when I examined my first slide under a microscope. The combinations of colors, cells, and tissue architecture in an H&E tissue section from the duodenum were stunning. Throughout my studies, my fascination grew and led me to pursue pathology
lab science to answer questions about evidence collected for criminal and civil cases. Forensic Pathologist can also be very helpful when solving forensic cases. Forensic Pathology dates back to 1959 in America, and was recognized by the American Board of Pathology.Pathology is the study of disease and it’s causes. Forensic Pathology is discovering the cause and manner of death and also determining if the deceased died from natural causes, homicide, suicide, etc. Becoming a Forensic Pathologist requires
Forensic Pathology as a Career The career that I researched was forensic pathology. The job of a pathologist is to determine a person’s cause of death by examining tissues and fluids from the body. A forensic pathologist does this as well, but they are trained to examine people who died unexpectedly or violently and to recognize other things that a regular pathologist might not, such as recognizing something as intentional rather than accidental. They have to determine who the person is, the time
Life as a Resident Assistant In her first year as a Resident Assistant, Andrea Robinson received a Christmas card from a resident named Charlotte, thanking her for helping Charlotte adjust to her new life at college. Robinson recalled that Charlotte was overcome with homesickness, as many first time students can be, and to help boost her spirits, she went with Charlotte to an opening week picnic. That made a huge difference for Charlotte and her gratitude she conveyed in the card. But the
Immunization Program (NIIP) quickly became recognized as a failure, one reason being that the feared epidemic never surfaced at all. But this massive undertaking deserves more analysis than just a simple repudiation. For example, all evidence linked to the pathology, microbiology, and historical cycle of influenza and the outbreak at Fort Dix suggests that the reactions of the scientists and other personnel involved in the NIIP were correct. However, one must also acknowledge the many complications and misjudgments
examination of a body after death to determine the cause of death or the character and extent of changes produced by disease (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). It is often used as means to gather evidence, access trauma to bodies, and or diagnose diseases or pathology to a deceased person. It is often used in conjunction with police investigation in the quest for justice in the court system. This, sometimes, involves cutting into the body to retrieve evidence or determine the cause of death. Many times, this isn’t
Although autopsies may be a dreadful decision to make, it also can also be a very important decision to make. “Autopsies imply that certain questions pertain not only to the end of a project but also to the beginning of the next one: What happened, what was learned, and how could this be done better next time, says Richard A. Prayson. Even if the cause of death seems clear, the person may have had a medical condition, which was not apparent during life. In situations like this, an autopsy would
Kinley Finke Mrs. South Language 6 18 February 2014 A Career in Pathology A pathologist is a doctor who studies disease. They work in laboratories and they examine tissues and other samples in order to diagnose diseases. When they make a diagnosis, they share their findings with the doctor who is in charge of taking care of the patient who has the disease. With challenging diseases and conditions to examine, a pathologist learns something new every day. In order to become a pathologist, it takes
