Abstract

Are Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Medicine synonymous? What is hidden in the name? By making a Department of Laboratory Medicine administratively and financially independent of Pathology, and opening a three-year residency program leading to a postgraduate MD degree, All India Institute of Medical Science, New Delhi has taken the lead in this subject. National Medical Commission of India, following the Government of India’s approval, recommends this course in the draft of Postgraduate Medical Education Regulation-2021. How does the rest of the world responds to this event would be interesting to follow.

Keywords: Clinical Pathology; AIIMS; Biochemistry; Laboratory Medicine
