A pathologist is a medical doctor who has spent at least four years beyond medical school training in the specialty of pathology. Pathology is the scientific study of diseases. Pathologists help other physicians diagnose their patients’ diseases by microscopically examining tissue and performing laboratory tests on body fluids, such as blood and urine. When requested, pathologists also perform autopsies in order to determine the cause of death or learn more about a disease process.
