Anatomic pathology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of tissue samples to reach a diagnosis. Samples studied may include surgically removed organs, biopsy specimens, bodily fluids, and, in some cases, the entire body (autopsy). Pathology plays a crucial role in forensic investigations by providing an expert assessment of the cause and manner of death.

The three main branches of pathology are:

• Anatomical pathology
• Clinical pathology
• Molecular pathology

Pathologists can work in very different environments, e.g. in a blood bank, hospital, or forensic pathology lab.
