IS YOUR LABORATORY CONSIDERING HIRING A PATHOLOGISTS’ ASSISTANT?

Pathologists’ assistants (PAs) can provide labs with a much-needed, cost-effective way to reduce pathologists’ workloads, both in surgical and autopsy pathology. PAs are trained to assume the grossing, autopsy dissection, and teaching responsibilities previously provided by pathologists, as well as provide administrative support for the pathology department as a whole.

Eligible for certification by the ASCP Board of Certification, PAs have met the highest standards for education and training in the profession of pathology, ensuring that your pathology laboratory is meeting the standards of not only your licensing bodies (CAP, CLIA, Joint Commission), but your pathologists and surgeons as well.

AAPA Job Hotline

The most effective way to announce a job opening for a pathologists’ assistant is through the AAPA Job Hotline. Members are able to access the AAPA Job Hotline 24 hours a day through the Members Only section of www.pathassist.org. Our membership consists of PAs and does not include other laboratory personnel such as histotechnologists or cytotechnologists.

Please submit your job ad and payment directly through our website by completing the AAPA Job Hotline form. If you have any questions or problems with your online order, please contact the AAPA Central Office.

The non-refundable fee is $325 to have your ad published for a length of three (3) months and includes a social media announcement on our Facebook page.

Upon receipt, ads can take up to three (3) business days to be processed. Once your ad and payment are processed, a confirmation email will be sent to you.

Upon receipt of payment, the labels will be mailed by standard first class mail to the designated address. Labels are normally mailed within one (1) week of receiving payment.
