Pathology is divided into (1) anatomic pathology and (2) clinical pathology (also termed laboratory medicine). Major subdivisions of anatomic pathology are surgical pathology, cytopathology, and autopsy pathology. Clinical pathology includes clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, and transfusion medicine. Pathologists frequently subspecialize, and there are Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)–accredited fellowships in breast pathology, cytopathology, dermatopathology, gastrointestinal pathology, genitourinary pathology, gynecologic pathology, hematopathology, medical microbiology, molecular genetic pathology, neuropathology, pediatric pathology, renal pathology, forensic pathology, and clinical informatics.
