What are the prospects for a career as an oral pathologist?
Employment of oral pathologists is expected to grow faster than average for all professions, increasing 16% from 2008 to 2018 (1). The growing population and increased incidence of oral diseases will drive job growth. Job prospects should be good especially for oral pathologists with extensive experience. Many job openings will stem from the need to replace oral pathologists that transfer, retire, or leave the field for other reasons.
