Pathology Board Certification

Pathology Board Certification is a formal process that validates a pathologist’s expertise in diagnosing diseases through laboratory analysis of tissues, cells, and bodily fluids. After completing medical school and specialized training, a pathologist must pass rigorous exams from a professional organization—such as the American Board of Pathology—to demonstrate their knowledge and skill. Certification ensures they meet high standards of competence, maintaining quality and consistency in diagnostic practices essential for patient care. It’s a mark of professional achievement and commitment to ongoing learning in the field of pathology.
