Page 1 of 7: some queries on path as a career

hi everybody!

dear members, i hope to get some valuable guidance here...

i finished mbbs in2006 ,now preparing for pg exams..im not interested much in clinical medicine..
i felt i should chose Pathology as i really love to read Pathology than any other subject..but one thing confuses me is that Pathology as a career can be different from reading mechanisms and flowcharts as given in books..i thought it could be tough or even boring with full of slides n specimens always.
how would be Pathology career in general? should we have any particular talent to shine in this field ? (for eg a physician should have a good rapport with patients to be successful)
how about research oriented activities, esp in genetics, after doing md path?
can anyone who has experience kindly enlighten me on this..?

Hi , Pathology is not at all boring with specimens and slides if you are one of them who loves to read and explore, i have done my MD ,infact Histopathology and Cytology are the most interesting things.Pathology as a craeer in metros is much different than in smaller cities as it is much marred by incentives and percentage one needs to give to clinicians .If u have future plans to settle in a small city , dont go for Pathology , dermat is better option and if u have futureplans of being in a metro or any place wid better potential , go ahead for that.
Besides Pathology wud need eventually a lot of socializing (wherever u r ) in private practice, go and attend a Pathology lab with some private practitioner to have a first hand experience acc to ur circumstances.

hi moderator!
very sorry for this delayed response..
n thanks a lot for ur suggestions..indeed helpful
hows the scope for research orinted jobs in Pathology , in genetics, immunology etc..? is biochem the only option for research in genetics or path can offer it too?
n one more thing, wat i meant previously was..in my ug period i had little interest in looking into slides, rather i liked to read the subject more(the pathogenesis part)........so wat worries me is will this career be a wrong option for me ?
kindly enlighten me on this dear moderator..thank u...
