Pathologists' Assistant
Michigan State University does not have an pathologist assistant program. The information below is intended for undergraduate students who are preparing to apply to pathologist assistant programs across the state/country.
Under direction of a pathologist, the pathologists' assistant performs surgical and autopsy functions leading up to, but not including, diagnosis. Pathologists' assistants conduct gross dissection of human tissue and surgical specimens for testing and evaluation. Pathologists' assistants perform forensic and hospital autopsies, while others conduct surgery on specimens for diagnoses, and typically work in hospitals, pathology labs, forensic labs, and morgues.
