Hii Sir,DNB pathologist here.I am thinking of giving FRCpath exam.I have2 queries.Is it more practical(wrt to getting a job easily) to clear frcpath histopathology or frcpath molecular pathology?After clearing FRCpath histopathology,does it make a significant difference in job and pay within India?Btw histopathology is my passion but i am interested in molecular as well and am aware thats the next thing.Please do guide sir.
Ans: FRCpath, the opening are there currently. I see the openings pop up on LinkedIn frequently., but it might not be in London always, might in 2/3rd tier cities in Uk.
Mol Path like you said is going to be more significant in the future,. decide on one and go with that, practising both might be difficult.
Pat scale in India just on basis of FRCPath alone might not be high drastically, but preference over others will be there in tertiary care centres.
