Pathologist

PathGroup is seeking an AP/CP Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Pathologist to join a busy, collegial practice serving a rapidly growing community in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth region. This full-time position offers an excellent opportunity to become part of a collaborative two-physician team, with plans to expand to three pathologists as the hospital completes its major renovations and clinical volume continues to rise. This practice provides comprehensive general surgical and cytopathology services, with a wide variety of case types and a well-balanced daily workload. The group is well established in the region, maintaining long-standing relationships with multiple hospitals and outpatient centers.

Practice Overview

• The team currently signs out 40–60 cases per day, including both surgical specimens and cytologies. The case mix spans GI biopsies and resections, colon and breast pathology, thyroid FNAs, body fluids, and occasional frozen sections. The volume is expected to increase further once hospital expansion is complete.
• The practice is 80% digital. All surgical biopsies are digitized for review, while cytology is the remaining area pending full digital conversion. The pathologists work on-site daily, with flexibility to accommodate occasional remote work as the team grows.
• Call responsibilities are minimal, shared on a 1-in-3 rotation, and typically light. The group has strong internal coverage, enabling vacation flexibility and consistent support.
• This is a high-volume yet well-balanced practice where collaboration, quality, and efficiency are valued. The position offers exposure to diverse pathology, professional autonomy, and access to PathGroup’s extensive subspecialty network for consultation and support.

About the Practice Setting

• The pathology group supports a busy regional hospital undergoing major renovation and expansion, in addition to several surrounding outpatient surgery and diagnostic centers. The site has been led by the current Laboratory Medical Director for over a decade, with a strong reputation for clinical quality and service excellence.
• Pathologists here enjoy a collegial, professional environment with the resources of PathGroup’s broader network while maintaining the feel of a local, community-oriented practice. Candidates with interest or experience in cytology will find this site particularly engaging.
