Job Description
The hiring establishment is a thriving private independent pathology laboratory located in Northern Central California. This surgical pathology and cytology laboratory is pathologist-owned and operated, emphasizing a professional environment that values independence, expertise, and community service. As a CLIA-certified and College of American Pathologists (CAP) fully accredited facility, this laboratory maintains the highest standards in diagnostic accuracy and quality assurance. Their team comprises over 30 Board Certified pathologists with subspecialties in dermatopathology, cytopathology, molecular pathology, and hematopathology. These experts not only enhance patient care through specialized diagnostics but also serve as laboratory medical directors across more than 15 hospitals, demonstrating a respected leadership presence in the medical community.
This position is a full-time hospital-based role designed for a board eligible or board certified pathologist who seeks a dynamic environment with a diverse pathology workload. The candidate will work independently, managing a variety of cases without the need to focus on a single subspecialty. This role is ideal for pathologists who enjoy a broad spectrum of diagnostic challenges, from common surgical pathology to complex cytology specimens, within a high-volume, fast-paced setting. The laboratory supports a pathology physician group that services hospitals and outpatient practices with extensive anatomic and clinical pathology expertise, backed by targeted subspecialty training. Working with this group enables the pathologist to contribute significantly to patient care and health management outcomes in the communities served.
Compensation for this position is highly competitive, ranging from $300,000 to $360,000 annually, commensurate with experience. In addition, the role offers a comprehensive benefits package including travel reimbursement, a 401(k) plan, medical reimbursement, and negotiable relocation and signing bonuses. This comprehensive compensation and benefits structure reflects the value the organization places on attracting top-tier pathology professionals committed to advancing diagnostic services that support excellent patient outcomes. Candidates interested in making a substantial professional impact within a collaborative and innovative pathology group will find this opportunity rewarding both professionally and personally.
