Job Description

Unlock your full potential as a Pathologists' Assistant at Mount Sinai Hospital's renowned Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (PLM) department. Work on diverse, complex cases across various disciplines, directly impacting patient care.

  3. Sample and aliquot tissue specimens for ancillary studies
  4. Assist pathologists in the processing of surgical specimens
  5. Assure proper legal consent for autopsy and conduct autopsy procedures including review and summation of patient identifying data, internal and external examination, evisceration, dissection, microdissection (in the case of fetal autopsy) and appropriate sampling for histology
  6. Participate in weekend coverage rotation for morgue duties, frozen section and cytological specimen preparation
  7. Train pathology residents in the skills of surgical specimen description, dissection and sampling, autopsy procedures and ancillary studies
  8. Troubleshoot various problems across the department which will involve interactions with patients, administrative staff, technical staff, medical staff and outside clients
  9. Perform other duties consistent with the job classification as assigned

  1. Successful completion of a MSc/MClSc (Pathologists' Assistant) or BSc with MLT from an accredited educational institution

Preferred

  1. 2 years recent experience as a Pathologists’ Assistant
  2. Canadian Association of Pathologists (CAP) membership and certification (or eligible for certification)
  3. College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Ontario (CMLTO) registration or American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) certification

Skills and Knowledge

  1. Good working knowledge of computer applications, (i.e. Lab Information Systems, Microsoft Office) and voice recognition software (i.e. Dragon Naturally Speaking)
