Similar to how a physician assistant helps doctors, pathologists' assistants help pathologists with the tasks of their job. Duties may include gross examination and description of surgical specimens, assistance with intraoperative consultations, autopsies, laboratory management, data compilation and reporting, research, and inventory and lab maintenance according to industry standards. A pathologists' assistant can be found working in community and university hospitals, private laboratories, medical schools, morgues, and medical examiner offices.<\/p>\n<p>The pathway to becoming a pathologists' assistant includes a four-year undergraduate (bachelor's) degree, followed by a two-year graduate program (master's) that includes both classroom education in medicine and pathology as well as clinical training. Admission to these graduate programs is very competitive, and there are only 13 pathologists' assistant master's programs in the U.S. There is one master's program in Wisconsin at Carroll University in Waukesha.<\/p>\n<p>Typically students will have earned a 3.6 GPA or higher while in college, and will have scored above the 70th percentile on the standardized test for graduate school. Some pathologists' assistant schools require the MCAT exam, while others require the GRE, either of which is usually taken the latter half of junior year.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to strong academic credentials, pathologists' assistant programs will be looking to see whether you have accumulated significant experience related to pathology while in college as part of their admissions process. This can include internships, lab work, related research projects, job shadowing, or part-time jobs. Students who declare an intention to take a pre-pathologists' assistant track will be assigned an advisor who specializes in advising pre-health students and can assist with finding these types of opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Pathologists' assistant schools do not require any specific major but do expect that students will have taken the necessary preparatory math and science coursework needed to succeed in their program. This includes multiple courses in chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry; multiple classes in biological sciences including genetics and anatomy; math, generally through the first semester of calculus; and statistics. For this reason, many students choose to major in biology, chemistry, or biochemistry, but that is not a requirement. As long as a student takes the required preparatory coursework, they can major in any subject area.<\/p>\n<p>Because science coursework is very sequential and must be taken in a specific order, students interested in pre-pathologists' assistant should express their intentions early so that the advisor can help the student with course selection. Taking the right courses beginning in freshman year is vital to staying on track and avoiding a delay in graduation.\u00a0<\/p>\n  \n\n<\/text>\n\n\n\n<p>To request this pre-professional classification, use the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.bplogix.net\/form.aspx?pid=0d7c854a-f1ef-4afa-9901-e8f47a1d1429&amp;formid=a7439050-07bd-4f0f-b4ae-941c475fe25b\">Pre-Professional Intake Form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<style>\ntable  {\n   font-family: Helvetica, Arial, \"sans-serif\";\n}\n\t\n\n\t\n\th2, h3, h4 {\n\t\tfont-family: Helvetica, Arial, \"sans-serif\";\n\t\t\n\t}\n\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist tr:nth-child(even) {\n \t\t\t background-color: #f2f2f2\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_footnotes td, .sc_footnotes th, .sc_footnotes table {  border-left: none;\n  border-right: none; padding: 8px;}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist {\n\t\t\t\tborder-collapse: collapse;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist td, .sc_courselist th {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 1px solid #ddd;\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 8px;\n        min-width: 40px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.hourscol{\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: right;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t .hidden.noscript{\n\t\t\t\/*\tdisplay: none; *\/\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.areaheader, .symcol, .listsum {\n\t\t\t\tfont-weight: bold;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t.HU { background-color: #ffce9c; }\n\n\t\t\t.SS { background-color: #f0e68c; }\n\n\t\t\t.NS { background-color: #ceefbd; }\n\n\t\t\t.OWCB { background-color: #ccccff; }\n\n\t\t\t.QLB { background-color: #ccffff; }\n<\/style>\n\n\n<h2>Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>Entrance to a pathologists\u2019 assistant program is very competitive \u2013 there are only 13 programs in the United States.
