- 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).
- Read current literature, talk with colleagues, or participate in professional organizations or conferences to keep abreast of developments in pathology.
- Conduct research and present scientific findings.
- Develop or adopt new tests or instruments to improve diagnosis of diseases.
- Examine microscopic samples to identify diseases or other abnormalities.
- Consult with physicians about ordering and interpreting tests or providing treatments.
- Educate physicians, students, and other personnel in medical laboratory professions such as medical technology, cytotechnology, and histotechnology.
- Review cases by analyzing autopsies, laboratory findings, or case investigation reports.
- Identify the etiology, pathogenesis, morphological change, and clinical significance of diseases.
