Discipline of Pathology forms a vital bridge between initial learning phase of pre-clinical medicine and the final phase of clinical subjects. It underpins every aspect of patient care, from diagnostic testing and treatment advice to using cutting-edge genetic technologies and preventing disease. Pathology explains the whys and wherefores of the signs and symptoms manifested by the patient and also helps in providing a rational basis for treatment. Various sub-specialties of pathology include hematology, clinical pathology, cytopathology, histopathology and molecular pathology.
