Hi Aqsa,



Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through examination of organs, tissues, bodily fluids, and whole bodies (autopsies).



  • To be eligible for the course, th candidates should have qualified Class XII with Physics, Chemistry and Biology from any recognised board.
  • To become a pathologist, first and foremost you must have an MBBS degree. Then you need to pursue an M.D. degree in Pathology which is of 3 years' duration.
  • An option is to do a two-year Diploma program instead of a degree, either in Pathology or in Clinical Pathology or even in Bacteriology.
  • For further reading, please check out the link given bekow, https://www.careers360.com/pathology-course


Hope this answer helps.

All the best for your future.
