Question
Hi, I'm doing science career project for class and I've chosen Pathology. I was wondering if you knew anything about the job prospects and demand of the Pathology field. Thanks.
Hello Jason:
Pathology is a challenging and interesting field of medicine. However before you specialize in pathology you have to finish a degree in medicine.
You can get jobs in medical school / university hospitals or private laboratories. Within pathology there are sub specialties which you may focus on and become an expert in that area.
