Answer
Hello Sandeep:

I am not aware what "DM" in pathology is.
Once you finish your MD pathology you can do fellowship in various subspecialties - cytopath / hematopathology etc. You can contact various university based pathology department to see what is on offer.

There are no correspondence courses to take except many sites like
AFIP / Mayo clinic have online tutorials / tests for which you get CME credits (applicable to American Board certified pathologists) However as a learning tool and to test / update your knowledge anyone can take them.

here are some links you can check
