Pathologists

BERWYN, ILLINOIS (USA).

The following is the list of responsibilities for Pathologists at Illinois Pathology Associates.

Pathologists are specialty physicians who practice almost exclusively in a laboratory setting. They most frequently interact with patient’s attending physicians rather than with the patients themselves. Generally patient interaction is limited to those rare occasions when the pathologist harvests bone marrow and/or fine needle aspirate specimens. Those procedures are most often performed by other specialists.

The pathologist performs duties in four basic areas of medicine:
1. Surgical Pathology (70%)
This involves the gross and microscopic examination of tissue specimens leading to the diagnostic interpretation. The surgical pathology report is distributed to the ordering physician and to the facility’s medical records.

2. Cytopathology (20%)
This involves the examination of gynecologic specimens (Pap tests), non-gynecologic specimens (bronchoscopic brushings and washings, bronchial alveolar lavages, sputum, urine, pelvic washings, esophageal and gastric brushings, etc.) and fine needle aspiration (FNA) procurement, adequacy assessment and diagnosis. FNAs may be obtained by the pathologist or interventional radiologist from nodules/masses in the thyroid, breast, lung, etc. Report distribution is the same as that for Surgical Pathology.

3. Clinical Laboratory Medicine (5%)
This involves the medical direction, supervision or interpretation of clinical laboratory tests performed in the facility laboratories. Tests are performed manually or on automated equipment and cover the fields of Blood and Blood Component Therapy, Chemistry, Hematology, Immunology and Microbiology. Results are reported and distributed to the ordering physician and the facility’s medical records.

4. Autopsies (5%)
This involves performing autopsies and the processing of surgical tissue for gross and microscopic examination. Coordination with ancillary support staff (ie; x-ray, photography, police, dental, mortuary personnel, etc. Collects and properly preserves and processes autopsy, DNA and toxicology specimens. Oversees the preparation and labeling of essential processing containers. Drafts all reports of autopsy and investigation, and signs death certificates as appropriate. Provides testimony in court as required. Will prepare consultation reports when not engaged in autopsy practice.
