No: Not all hospitals provide autopsies on site. Some hospitals may contract with outside pathologists to do the autopsy. Some may not provide autopsies at all.

No: No, many hospital pathologists do not do autopsies. Most community hospital pathologists in our area do not do them. They are referred to our hospital because we have a residency training program.
