Whatever you do, do not do clinical pathology residency without anatomical. The Ph.ds can do the clinical pathologists job for Much less, and there absolutely no jobs without multiple fellowships in clinical path or they want someone ap/cp or someone with 5 years lab management experience. It’s ridiculous. I can’t get a position in something that I am residency trained in. I am an AMG with a US residency. I feel like an IMG without a license. Even with fellowships in clin path it is difficult to find a position in a place you want to live. I am stuck now trying to pursue another residency. Don’t think getting a second residency is easy because you will be unfunded the second time around. It has been two years and I must abandon clin path, I did however go into healthcare management as an executive physician making 147k, but that was luck and it was not at all my plan.

Very well written…TRUE summary of our careers unlike few sites…most people who are pathologists have decided on the specialty by choice…unlike the way certain websites such as SDN put it…also a suggestion to include superspecialty fellowship training options….

Thanks for writing this. After much research on which specialty to pick, I think I’m falling for pathology. Even though I haven’t even started med school yet, if pathology is as this article describes it I will totally love it!

(In private practice)
I agree that this is an excellent website as well. However, in private practice with your group doing its own billing, cash compensation (annual W2) more accurately average in the 250 to 350K range surpassing that amount in a significant number of groups. The amounts quoted in the surveys depend on who responded and the n’s are not very high.

This is a nice synopsis of our great specialty. Interested people may also want to visit my website for a Powerpoint presentation on pathology as a specialty.
