The objectives of an MD Pathology program are to train medical graduates to become competent pathologists capable of diagnosing diseases by examining tissues, cells, and bodily fluids, using various laboratory techniques and genetic studies. A key goal is to produce specialists with expertise in histopathology, clinical pathology, microbiology, biochemistry, and transfusion medicine who can contribute to patient care through accurate diagnosis, teaching, and research in the advancement of pathology.

An MD Pathology is a postgraduate medical degree focused on disease diagnosis through the analysis of tissues, blood, and other body fluids at a cellular and molecular level. Key features include a strong emphasis on laboratory-based work such as histopathology and cytopathology, limited direct patient interaction, the study of disease causes and effects, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals for effective patient treatment and diagnosis. The field also requires continuous learning and updating due to rapid advancements in diagnostic techniques and offers a fixed working pattern with opportunities for specialization and research.

The core curriculum is divided into four main areas of study and practice:- Basic sciences as applied to the subject, including general pathology, pathophysiology, immunopathology, and molecular biology. Systemic pathology, encompassing surgical pathology and cytopathology. Hematology, transfusion medicine, and laboratory medicine, including instrumentation and quality control. Recent advances in pathology.
