Cytopathology is the laboratory study of cells and tissues. A cytopathologist diagnoses diseases after microscopic study of cells from tissue samples, cells, and fluids and secretions from the human body. An important part of the cytopathologist’s work is interpreting cells from the female reproductive system, using the “Pap test,” and being a consultant to other physicians in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases.
Doctor density varies by specialty and location. Idaho has 10 practicing cytopathologists. Broken out by city, cytopathology doctor density in Boise is 8, in Idaho Falls is 1, and in Post Falls is 1.
Idaho achieved statehood 1890, and its capital city is Boise. The recent boom of science and technology has superseded agriculture and tourism as the state’s primary resource. Visit the Idaho State Historical Society or the Morrison Center for the Performing Arts in Boise, or tour the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa. Places to see in Idaho include a mountain resort, a mining-era town, the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, or the Ernest Hemingway Memorial.
