- Conduct research and present scientific findings.
- Plan and supervise the work of the pathology staff, residents or visiting pathologists.
- Diagnose diseases or study medical conditions using techniques such as gross pathology, histology, cytology, cytopathology, clinical chemistry, immunology, flow cytometry, and molecular biology.
- Examine microscopic samples to identify diseases or other abnormalities.
- 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.
- Develop or adopt new tests or instruments to improve diagnosis of diseases.
- Communicate pathologic findings to surgeons or other physicians.
- Testify in depositions or trials as an expert witness.
- Identify the etiology, pathogenesis, morphological change, and clinical significance of diseases.
