This is also an excellent opportunity for a general surgical pathologist interested in expanding their breast pathology experience through collaboration with nationally recognized experts.

• Access to PathGroup's digital pathology network, including 10+ subspecialists in breast pathology, gastrointestinal pathology, neuropathology, and more

• One dedicated Pathologists' Assistant with gross examination performed by the histology team
• Off-site histology and cytology services, allowing pathologists to focus on diagnostic sign-out
• Strong partnership with hospital administration and experienced laboratory leadership
• No autopsy requirement
