What is the difference between a pathologist/epidemiologist and a biomedical scientist involved in pathology?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pathologist: A pathologist is a person who has gone to medical school ( a physician) and then completed a residency program in pathology. A biomedical scientist would likely have a Phd and trained in a graduate program, not a medial school. Some medical schools do have Phd programs and this can confuse things. :)
