Hi Sir,
Can you let me know the differences between Clinical Pathology and Pathology to study in Diploma program? I want to do Diploma in Pathology but came to know also about Clinical Pathology. Kindly tell me the differences.

Pathology is a branch of science under which clinical pathology is a field. Pathology relates to study of disease and medicine along with diagnosis. This may involve fields like Anatomical pathology, clinical pathology, dermatopathology, forensic pathology, hematopathology, histopathology, molecular pathology, surgical pathology. This can be of related to any biological life. On the other hand, clinical pathology is a sub-part of pathology which deals in diagnosis of disease based on the laboratory analysis of bodily fluids, such as blood, urine, and tissue extracts using the tools of chemistry, microbiology, hematology and molecular pathology.
