Both pathologists and lab technicians are integral to the functioning of pathology labs, working together to ensure accurate diagnoses and quality healthcare. Heres an overview of their roles:

Role of Pathologists
  • Diagnosis: Pathologists examine tissue samples, blood, and other bodily fluids to diagnose conditions like cancers, infections, and autoimmune diseases.
  • Interpretation of Test Results: While lab technicians perform the tests, pathologists interpret the results and provide detailed reports to guide treatment decisions.
  • Collaboration with Healthcare Providers: Pathologists work closely with physicians to discuss findings, recommend further tests, and suggest treatment options.

Role of Lab Technicians
  • Sample Collection and Preparation: Lab technicians collect, label, and prepare samples (blood, urine, tissue) while ensuring proper handling and storage.
  • Conducting Laboratory Tests: Technicians operate laboratory equipment to conduct tests like blood counts, urine analysis, microbiological cultures, and genetic screenings.
  • Quality Control and Maintenance: Technicians calibrate, clean, and maintain lab equipment, performing routine checks to ensure the accuracy of tests.
  • Data Management and Reporting: They enter test results into laboratory information systems (LIS) and assist in preparing reports for pathologists to interpret.
