Pathology

Pathology is at the center of many medical decisions made by clinicians at Yale Medicine. Our pathologists study tissue, blood, and other body fluids to help your doctors understand what’s causing a health problem, confirm a diagnosis, and choose the best treatment.

As part of your care team, our specialists join regular meetings where doctors from different fields review results together and discuss next steps. We’re also available 24/7, so your doctors can get answers quickly—especially during surgery, cancer care, and transplant care.
