In short, they function as a doctor's doctor. In general, they work in collaboration with other doctors in diagnosing a myriad of diseases affecting patients in many ways such as giving intraoperative diagnoses (frozen sections) while the patient is on the operating table, diagnosing surgical specimens following removal to confirm and further classify diagnoses to providing laboratory and blood bank services with the ultimate goal of assisting clinicians in their treatment decision making plans for their patients. And yes, they also perform autopsies on inpatients if so requested by clinical staff and/or family members.

Pathologists work in hospital laboratories, performing autopsies (disection) on corpses, to depict the cause of death.
Many people think that pathologists mainly perform autopsies on corpses but it is in fact not true. Autopsies are still used but pathologists deal most of the time with living creatures, e.g. they examine bioptical samples taken out from patients during operations, etc. to find out about possible problems. In fact nearly all excisions made during surgeries are examined by pathologists. The same goes for gynaecological samples, etc. Autopsies currently form less than 10% of the job of a pathologist.

What is the difference between Anthropologist and Pathologist?
About 100 years, literally. In general anthropologists study bones over a century old, especially skulls, and pathologists examine remains younger that still have other tissues attached. The two professions sometimes overlap or work together such as when a relatively recent but completely skeletonized body is discovered. Most really good pathologists have also learned much about anthropology in the course of their own jobs. Another way to look at it is that pathologists determine how a recently living subject died and anthropoligists determine how historic or pre-historic subjects lived.
