What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pathologist position at PathGroup?
PathGroup is seeking an AP/CP Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Hematopathologist to join our collaborative, hospital-based pathology team in Memphis, Tennessee. This full-time position offers the opportunity to practice complex, high-level diagnostic medicine in a digitally advanced, academically engaged environment. The primary focus of this role is hematopathology; however, as part of a collaborative subspecialty team, the selected candidate will also participate in general surgical pathology sign-out.

This is an ideal opportunity for a hematopathologist who values intellectual rigor and collegiality.
Highlights
Memphis offers a unique blend of culture, accessibility, and community. Known for its rich musical heritage and vibrant food scene, the city is multicultural and full of character. From riverfront living and seasonal festivals to beautiful parks and outdoor recreation, Memphis provides a lifestyle that feels dynamic and grounded. Nearby Germantown offers equestrian opportunities and highly regarded neighborhoods, and families benefit from strong public, religious private, and secular private school options. Springtime in Memphis is especially beautiful, and the recently renovated airport, now a Delta hub, makes travel convenient.
