Tasks for “Pathology Laboratory Director”
- Review cases by analyzing autopsies, laboratory findings, or case investigation reports.
- Examine microscopic samples to identify diseases or other abnormalities.
- Diagnose diseases or study medical conditions using techniques such as gross pathology, histology, cytology, cytopathology, clinical chemistry, immunology, flow cytometry, and molecular biology.
- Plan and supervise the work of the pathology staff, residents or visiting pathologists.
- Identify the etiology, pathogenesis, morphological change, and clinical significance of diseases.
- Manage medical laboratories.
- Write pathology reports summarizing analyses, results, and conclusions.
- Conduct genetic analyses of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or chromosomes to diagnose small biopsies and cell samples.
