Should Pathologists Be Physicians??

In conclusion, a philosophical and practical question is whether a pathologist could still contribute to the living  and to society and science without the first 4 years of training to become a physician and an MD or DO degree. Is there something intrinsic to a pathologist's profession that demands he or she be a physician? I would like to read responses to this suggestion of mine by pathologists and non-pathology physicians and the general public, knowing the conditions and needs of the 21st century. ..Maurice.Graphic: Anatomy Dissection Room from Google Images
