Importance of Studying Disease and Disease Processes-Crimson Publishers
Importance of Studying Disease and DiseaseProcesses by Gundu HR Rao* in Developments in Clinical & Medical Pathology
According to Health Encyclopaedia of the University of Rochester Medical
Centre, New York, clinical pathology covers a wide range of laboratory
functions and is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
of diseases. Clinical pathologists are healthcare providers with
special training, who often direct all of the special divisions of the
laboratory. This may include the blood bank, clinical chemistry,
biology, toxicology, hematology, immunology, serology, and microbiology.
Clinical pathology also involves maintenance of information systems,
research, and quality control. As an emeritus professor of the
Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, University of
Minnesota, which has over a century of experience teaching this subject,
I totally agree with the above definition when it comes to pathology.
However, modern pathology is an expanding science and includes many
other specialties.
