"In the late 1970s, as professor of pathology at the University of California, San Diego, Robb published some of the earliest descriptions of coronaviruses. He also published a book chapter on this class of viruses for 'Comprehensive Virology.'"

Yes, some are.

Yes, there is such a thing as an infectious disease pathologist. Some pathologist are dedicated medical microbiologists.

she looks extremely qualified to me. Path is a great field to be a med micro expert.

I’d rate her as an immunologist not a pathologist.

I’d rate her as an immunologist not a pathologist.

She’s a board certified clinical pathologist who did a medical microbiology fellowship and is a director of a clinical microbiology lab. Why would you say she isn’t a pathologist?

I agree and don’t see where the disconnect is here. She completed a pathology residency and an ACGME-accredited pathology fellowship and now works in the Department of Pathology. How is she not a pathologist?
