EXPLORE CAREERS BY THEME
Both doctors and scientists working in pathology specialise in a particular area of medicine – a specialty. These include immunology (the study of the body’s immune system and its disorders) and toxicology (the study of how chemical, physical or biological substances affect the body).
TRAINING IN ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL PATHOLOGY
To train as a consultant oral and maxillofacial pathologist requires a background in dentistry. You’ll need to complete specialty training in oral and maxillofacial pathology, which is overseen by the General Dental Council (GDC).
THE MEDICAL ROUTE
The route you take will shape the roles you’re able to work in, but there are crossover opportunities for both. Both medically and scientifically qualified pathologists provide expert advice to medical teams treating patients and are involved in organisational management and research.
OTHER CAREERS IN PATHOLOGY
Pathologists and consultant clinical scientists couldn’t prevent disease or diagnose patients without the expertise of other professionals in key supporting roles.
