1) Cardiothoracic surgery
Cardiothoracic surgeons specialise in the treatment
and management of diseases that occur in the organs
inside the chest and in the bony structures and
tissues that form the chest cavity. Coronary artery
disease is one of the most common diseases treated by
cardiothoracic surgeons. General thoracic surgeons
primarily treat lung cancer and diseases of the
esophagus and chest wall. Congenital heart surgeons
care for babies and children with holes between the
heart chambers or abnormal connections within the
heart. Listed below are some examples of diseases
treated by cardiothoracic surgeons.
• Coronary artery disease or blockages of the arteries
in the heart
• Blockages in the heart valves
• Leaking heart valves
• Abnormal enlargement or aneurysms of the large
arteries in the chest
• Heart failure
• Atrial fibrillation

2) Chemical pathology
Chemical pathology is the branch of pathology which
deals with the diagnosis and management of disease by
use of chemicals present in body fluids and tissues.
Typically, chemical pathology laboratories are the
largest sub-units in pathology departments and
commonly perform measurements of many different
chemicals on hundreds of patient samples each day.
Because many of these analyses are time-critical, the
chemical pathology laboratory is usually highly
automated and uses complex analysers that are capable
of performing many analyses in a short time frame.
Chemical pathologists are responsible for running
these laboratories, ensuring the quality of the
results, and providing a diagnostic service and advice
to clinicians. This requires a sophisticated knowledge
of the pathophysiology of disease, the diagnostic
value of individual tests, and also of the work of the
laboratory. A significant part of the work of the
chemical pathologist entails oral communication with
clinical colleagues, and for this reason significant
emphasis is put on oral communication skills both in
training and in assessment
