title: The surgical pathologist as researcher.
abstract: Most surgical pathologists have the opportunity to perform research. Research in surgical pathology can be classified as: (1) observational; (2) manipulative with human tissues; (3) experimental with nonhuman models; and (4) technical, instructional, and delivery. Examples of each of these forms of research are presented, as are comments on the academic stature and funding problems of research in surgical pathology.
