Job Description

Pathology Group of Louisiana (PGL) is a multi-specialty private practice providing a full spectrum of anatomic and clinical pathology services for hospitals, surgery centers, and clinical laboratories in Baton Rouge and throughout Southeast Louisiana. Our team of 15 well-respected, board-certified pathologists is looking for a skilled PA to join our existing team of 4 PAs, rotating between our privately owned laboratory - where the majority of specimens are received, grossed, and processed - and one other hospital lab. Both sites offer a wide, balanced range of specimens - from routine biopsies to complex cancer resections. Between all locations, PGL processed 93,000 surgical cases last year.

• Perform accurate gross dissection and detailed description of surgical specimens across the full case spectrum - from routine biopsies to complex cancer resections
• Specimen processing and submission for histologic processing and special studies
• Rotate between PGL's privately owned laboratory (primary grossing site) and Woman's Hospital lab, ensuring broad, balanced clinical exposure
• Collaborate closely with pathologists and technical staff to maintain quality and workflow efficiency
• Contribute to lab workflow coordination and other duties as assigned

• Graduate of an NAACLS/ASCP-accredited Pathologists' Assistant program
• PA(ASCP) certification or eligibility to sit for the board exam
• Ability to work cooperatively within diverse clinical environments
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with ability to build positive working relationships with pathologists and technical staff

• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
• Relocation assistance provided
• Private practice environment - not a hospital system
• Broad case volume and specimen diversity across two active sites

Baton Rouge is Louisiana's capital - a city of 230,000 with a metro area of 800,000 - offering all the cultural richness of South Louisiana at a cost of living well below comparable markets. World-class cuisine, LSU athletics, Gulf Coast outdoor recreation, music festivals, and a thriving arts scene, all with genuine Southern community.
