- Review cases by analyzing autopsies, laboratory findings, or case investigation reports.
- Analyze and interpret results from tests such as microbial or parasite tests, urine analyses, hormonal assays, fine needle aspirations (FNAs), and polymerase chain reactions (PCRs).
- Identify the etiology, pathogenesis, morphological change, and clinical significance of diseases.
- Consult with physicians about ordering and interpreting tests or providing treatments.
- Diagnose infections, such as Hepatitis B and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), by conducting tests to detect the antibodies that patients' immune systems make to fight such infections.
- Manage medical laboratories.
- Perform autopsies to determine causes of deaths.
- Plan and supervise the work of the pathology staff, residents or visiting pathologists.
- Read current literature, talk with colleagues, or participate in professional organizations or conferences to keep abreast of developments in pathology.
- Testify in depositions or trials as an expert witness.
