Pathologist

Pathologist, Southwest Michigan ((Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) is accepted) | Anatomic Pathology | Full-Time

Looking for a pathologist who wants more than a microscope and a stack of slides — this role puts you at the center of patient care, lab leadership, and clinical strategy for a well-established regional laboratory.

What makes this different:

You won't just be reading cases. You'll help shape how a department runs for a highly complex CLIA-certified lab, with real influence over methods, technology adoption, and quality standards. If you've ever wanted a seat at the table instead of just a caseload, this is it.

• Perform autopsies — general medical and forensic
• Serve as the go-to clinical consultant for referring physicians across the region
• Lead quality assurance, evaluate new testing methods, and drive technology adoption in your area of interest
• Mentor techs and students, and teach in-service conferences on emerging methods and instrumentation

What you bring:

• MD or DO, board-eligible in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology
• Completed an AMA-approved 4-year pathology training program
• Meets CLIA qualifications for Laboratory Director, Technical Supervisor, and Clinical Consultant (highly complex lab)
• Unrestricted medical license (Michigan or ability to obtain)(Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) is helpful)
• Strong communicator: you'll work across every level of the organization, from bench techs to hospital administration
• ***MUST BE AP/CP BOARD CERTIFIED.
