It combines diagnostic skill with scientific exploration to provide vital diagnoses to health care providers, patients and their families. It involves patients of all ages (including embryos and fetuses) and encompasses all parts of the body, blood, bone marrow and body fluids. Pathology forms the foundation of medicine and we are proud to promote diagnostic excellence, be leaders in scientific innovation and teach the next generation of physician scientists.
