Job Description

PathGroup is seeking an AP/CP Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Pathologist to join a growing, collegial hospital-based practice serving the McKinney and Frisco communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. This is a full-time role supporting two nearby hospital sites, with primary office space located in Frisco and close collaboration with a well-established team in McKinney.

The practice is currently supported by three pathologists across the two sites and is looking to add a fourth pathologist to support continued growth. This role offers an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative, high-performing team with strong leadership and long-standing professional relationships.

Practice Overview

• The practice supports approximately 9,300 annual cases across the McKinney and Frisco locations, with volume shared across a team of three pathologists and a fourth being added to support growth and coverage.
• The case mix includes a broad range of general surgical pathology and cytology, including GI biopsies and resections, breast, colon, FNAs, body fluids, and occasional frozen sections. No autopsy.
• Grossing, slide processing, and immunohistochemistry are performed at a centralized laboratory by experienced Pathologist Assistants, with fast turnaround times (often same day).
• Pathologists have access to internal subspecialty support (including medical renal, hematopathology, and neuropathology) and real-time consultation across PathGroup’s national network.
• The practice is over 90% digital, allowing for efficient workflows and occasional remote work flexibility when scheduling allows.
• Call responsibilities are equitable, typically one week per month, within a highly supportive and collegial team environment.

About the Practice Setting

• The pathology team supports facilities in McKinney and Frisco, with offices located in physician office buildings rather than directly within the hospital.
• Coverage is scheduled in advance with flexibility, allowing physicians to focus on one site at a time without intraday travel between locations.
• The team operates in a hands-on, highly collaborative environment, working closely with clinical teams to triage cases and maintain timely turnaround.
• Vacation time is equitable and provided upfront, supporting strong work-life balance.
• This role offers future growth opportunities, including the ability to gradually assume additional leadership or CLIA-related responsibilities based on interest and fit.
