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!

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.

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.
