My Dad was a Consultant in Histopathology. He used to do 12 hour days/7 days per week. He was extremely dedicated to his work.

In UK?

[@eddieleong6490]

I salute these experts. Their eyes are the key to what their brains will interpret. It is all about looking at the cells and many things the slides will reveal.

[@dikshaprabhu3054]

Is histopathology same as forensic pathology? Does training in histopathology involve postmortem?

[@ilovepathology]

Hi Diksha, histopathology and forensic pathology are two separate pathology specialties that require separate training. When training for histopathology, you have the choice to train in how to do postmortems. However, these postmortems will not be for homicide or suspicious deaths - those are for forensic pathologists exclusively. You can find out more about their differences by looking at these two web pages:
Forensic pathology: www.rcpath.org/discover-pathology/careers-in-pathology/careers-in-medicine/become-a-forensic-pathologist.html
Histopathology: www.rcpath.org/discover-pathology/careers-in-pathology/careers-in-medicine/become-a-histopathologist.html

Can a nurse become a histopathologist?

[@ilovepathology]

Hi there. Here's some information about careers and training in histopathology: www.rcpath.org/discover-pathology/careers-in-pathology/careers-in-medicine/become-a-histopathologist.html. To become a consultant histopathologist in the UK you need to study medicine before you do specialty training in histopathology. You can become part of a histopathology laboratory team if you train as a biomedical scientist.
