Clinical pathology is a medical specialty that is concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the
laboratory analysis of bodily fluids such as blood and urine, and tissues using the tools of chemistry,
microbiology, hematology and molecular pathology. Clinical pathologists work in close collaboration

1) Clinical Pathology
