We are seeking a strong general surgical pathologist who thrives in a collaborative, high-volume environment and values quality, efficiency, and teamwork. Candidates with subspecialty training or interest, particularly in GI, cytopathology, or breast pathology, are highly encouraged to apply. While fellowship training is preferred, candidates with demonstrated experience are also welcome.
