Pathology


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! I had some questions regarding pathology that I was hoping people could answer as many as they could?

a) What is a competitive field in Pathology to match for in residency?

b) What is high demand Pathology field in regard to jobs?

c) Are most field of Pathology have a good life balance? If not, what is the most chill and more demanding field of Pathology?

d) Do the fields of Pathology differ in the amount salary they get?

e) Do most people in Pathology end up doing fellowships?

f) Are most jobs in Pathology in academic centres? And if so, does this require the pathologist working at academic centres to do research?

 

Thanks in advance!

a) dermatopathology

b) forensic and hematopathology

c) it really depends on where you work. Who do you compare to? What is "good"? I'd say neuropath and molecular path in the academic setting are more "chill".

d) yes and no, 95% makes similar amounts, so you won't be poor. 4.999% makes slightly more, but 0.001% makes ridiculously high amounts. 

e) unfortunately yes, but if you are open minded about where you want to work, you don't have to

f) yes, but you can negotiate your contract the amount of research you do.
