Pathologists' Assistant-Histology Palm Springs, CA

Job Description

Ref(LF2)

Currently seeking a skilled and motivated Pathologists' Assistant to join the highly regarded Anatomic Pathology team at a well renowned hospital located in the heart of Coachella Valley! This is an outstanding opportunity to advance your career in a collaborative, patient-centered environment—all while living in one of Southern California’s most sought-after locations.

What You’ll Be Doing:

In this position, you’ll work independently under the direction of board-certified pathologists, performing comprehensive gross examination, dissection, and histologic sampling of a wide range of surgical specimens—from routine biopsies to complex oncologic resections. You’ll also assist with autopsy procedures and support teaching efforts for residents, fellows, and new Pathologists' Assistants.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Grossing surgical specimens with a high degree of autonomy and accuracy

• Assisting with evisceration and dissection during autopsies

• Supporting and mentoring pathology residents and fellows in gross pathology techniques

• Coordinating workflow and maintaining turnaround times for diagnostic reporting

• Utilizing pathology information systems, dictation software, and electronic medical records for case documentation and QA

What We're Looking For:

• Master’s degree from a NAACLS-accredited Pathologists' Assistant program

• ASCP certification (or eligibility) required

• Strong knowledge of anatomic pathology practices and terminology

• Skilled in communication, organization, and multitasking

• Comfortable using EMRs and digital lab systems

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Location – Work in a sunny, scenic area known for its natural beauty, outdoor lifestyle, and close proximity to major metro areas like Los Angeles, San Diego, and Palm Springs.

• Work Culture – Join a collaborative team in a nationally recognized hospital setting with a strong focus on patient care, education, and innovation.

• Career Growth – This institution is known for mentoring and supporting clinical staff in career development while maintaining a manageable workload and excellent work-life balance.
