What is Pathology?

What does a pathologist do?

• Doctors who study diseases are known as
  pathologists, and they can work in a variety of
  different capacities to further the understanding
  of different types of disease.
• Pathologists can research specific types of
  disease or specific diagnostic tools for finding
  disease. Some researchers specialize in studying
  the human genome to look for diseases that are
  genetically-linked as well.
• Pathologists can work as medical examiners,
  forensic consultants, or other service-based
  positions helping police and other investigators
  determine the ultimate cause of death.
