Job description

Our practice operates its own dermatopathology laboratory at our Peachtree City office: the biopsies our providers take are processed, sectioned, and stained in-house and read by our board-certified dermatopathologist, Dr. Paul Haun. We are seeking a Histotechnician to join the lab team that makes that possible. This is skin histology at a dermatology practice's pace: high volume, small specimens, tight turnaround, and a pathologist working at the bench with you, not in another building.

Key responsibilities

• Accession, gross, and process dermatologic specimens with meticulous attention to identification and orientation.
• Embed tissue and cut high-quality sections on the microtome, including precise sectioning for margin evaluation.
• Perform routine H&E staining and special stains; support immunohistochemistry (IHC) workflows.
• Maintain equipment (processor, embedding station, microtome, stainer), reagents, and daily QC logs.
• Follow CLIA, OSHA, and laboratory safety and quality standards; participate in proficiency testing.
• Track cases so every specimen is accounted for from bottle to slide to report.

Qualifications

• HT or HTL (ASCP) certification preferred, or certification-eligible with documented histology training and experience.
• Hands-on microtomy experience; dermatopathology or Mohs laboratory experience is a strong plus.
• Working knowledge of tissue processing, embedding, and routine and special stains.
• Careful, methodical work habits. In this lab, precision is patient care.
• Comfortable in a small-team environment where reliability matters every single morning.

Our lab exists so patients get answers in days, not weeks, and the people who run it are valued accordingly. You'll work directly with a dual board-certified dermatopathologist, on modern equipment, in a physician-owned practice that invests in its laboratory instead of outsourcing it. Competitive compensation and a consistent weekday schedule.
