This role is central to our diagnostic quality — delivering accurate, high-quality tissue processing, embedding, sectioning, and staining for routine dermpath cases, with occasional support for Mohs frozen sections.
The ideal candidate is dependable, precise, and thrives in a fast-paced clinical environment where accuracy matters.
What You'll Do
- Prepare tissue specimens for microscopic examination, including fixation, processing, embedding, sectioning, and H&E staining

- Support Mohs frozen section workflow as needed
- Maintain a clean, organized, audit-ready lab
- Follow OSHA, CLIA, HIPAA, and infection control standards at all times
- Perform routine equipment maintenance and QC checks on Sakura and Leica BOND systems

- Communicate clearly and professionally with providers, clinical staff, and leadership
What You Bring
- Certified Histotechnician (HT) or Histotechnologist (HTL) preferred
- 1–3 years of histology experience preferred, with a focus on dermatopathology
- Mohs frozen section experience is a plus but not required
- Strong working knowledge of histologic techniques, stains, IHC, and lab safety standards
- Exceptional attention to detail and excellent manual dexterity
- Ability to work efficiently and accurately under time-sensitive conditions
- Comfort learning and working within modern lab technology (ModMed EHR, automated IHC, digital workflows)
Why This Role
- Join an established, well-equipped dermatopathology lab with room to grow
- Work with Sakura processing equipment and a Leica BOND IHC platform
- Support a growing dermatopathology service line across three locations
- Join a physician-led practice that invests in its people, technology, and clinical quality
