Pathology is the study of disease and injury. The word pathology also refers to the study of disease in general,incorporating a wide range of biology research fields and medical practices. However,when used in the context of modern medical treatment,the term is often used in a narrower fashion to refer to processes and tests that fall within the contemporary medical field of "general pathology",an area that includes a number of distinct but inter-related medical specialties that diagnose disease,mostly through analysis of tissue and human cell samples. Idiomatically,"a pathology" may also refer to the predicted or actual progression of particular diseases,and the affix pathy is sometimes used to indicate a state of disease in cases of both physical ailment and psychological conditions. A physician practicing pathology is called a pathologist.
Anatomical pathology (Commonwealth) or anatomic pathology (U.S.) is a medical specialty that is concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the macroscopic,microscopic,biochemical,immunologic and molecular examination of organs and tissues. Over the 20th century,surgical pathology has evolved tremendously:from historical examination of whole bodies (autopsy) to a more modernized practice,centered on the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer to guide treatment decision-making in oncology. Its modern founder was the Italian scientist Giovanni Battista Morgagni from Forlì.
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,urine,and tissue homogenates or extracts using the tools of chemistry,microbiology,hematology,molecular pathology,and Immunohaematology. This specialty requires a medical residency.
A Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) or Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS) or Medical Technologist (MT) performs diagnostic testing of blood and body fluids in clinical laboratories. The scope of a medical laboratory scientist's work begins with the receipt of patient or client specimens and terminates with the delivery of test results to physicians and other healthcare providers. The utility of clinical diagnostic testing relies squarely on the validity of test methodology. To this end,much of the work done by medical laboratory scientists involves ensuring specimen quality,interpreting test results,data-logging,testing control products,performing calibration,maintenance,validation,and troubleshooting of instrumentation as well as performing statistical analyses to verify the accuracy and repeatability of testing. Medical laboratory scientists may also assist healthcare providers with test selection and specimen collection and are responsible for prompt verbal delivery of critical lab results. Medical Laboratory Scientists in healthcare settings also play an important role in clinical diagnosis. An estimated 70% of medical decisions are based on laboratory test results and MLS contributions affect 95% of a health system's costs.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) is a public academic health science center in Omaha,Nebraska. Founded in 1869 and chartered as a private medical college in 1881,UNMC became part of the University of Nebraska System in 1902. Rapidly expanding in the early 20th century,the university founded a hospital,dental college,pharmacy college,college of nursing,and college of medicine. It later added colleges of public health and allied health professions. One of Omaha's top employers,UNMC has an annual budget of $841.6 million for 2020 to 2021,and an economic impact of $4.8 billion.

A medical laboratory or clinical laboratory is a laboratory where tests are conducted out on clinical specimens to obtain information about the health of a patient to aid in diagnosis,treatment,and prevention of disease. Clinical medical laboratories are an example of applied science,as opposed to research laboratories that focus on basic science,such as found in some academic institutions.
Rodney Smith Markin,is an American pathologist and authority in the field of laboratory automation. In 1993,he designed and created one of the world's first automated clinical laboratory specimen,device and analyzer management systems. In the mid-1990s,he chaired a standards group called the Clinical Testing Automation Standards Steering Committee (CTASSC) of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry,which later evolved into an area committee of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.

Master of Medicine is a postgraduate professional clinical degree awarded by medical schools to physicians following a period of instruction,supervised clinical rotations,and examination. The degree usually takes three years to complete,but may take up to four years in some countries.
