Responsibilities

About EPIARX Diagnostics:
EPIARX Diagnostics is a private pathology practice based in Washington, DC, specializing in autopsy and diagnostic pathology. We serve families, hospitals, medical examiners, and institutional partners across nearly half the country.

We are intentionally small, growing thoughtfully, and built for physicians who want to do excellent work without burnout. Our practice prioritizes sustainable workloads, protected time off, mentorship, and professional development—offering a real alternative to the grueling pace common in large hospital systems and government settings.

Our current lab is located in Tenleytown (Metro-accessible), with plans to expand into a new, state-of-the-art facility in Brookland (Northeast DC) in 2026.

Position Overview
We are seeking an early-career Anatomic Pathologist who is passionate about postmortem pathology and eager to build deep hands-on expertise in a private practice environment.

This role is ideal for a recent or soon-to-be pathology residency graduate (within ~12 months) who is Board Certified or Board Eligible in Anatomic Pathology (AP) and has meaningful exposure to autopsy pathology. Candidates with a Forensic Pathology Fellowship (completed or in progress) are encouraged to apply, but this is not required.

You will focus primarily on autopsy pathology, with opportunities over time to expand into consultative and second-opinion work. Occasional regional travel may be required for case-related support, partner institutions, or professional development.

Key Responsibilities:

Perform autopsies and manage postmortem cases end-to-end (gross exam, histology, reporting)
Prepare and sign out reports with accuracy, clarity, and professional rigor
Collaborate with internal teams and referring partners to ensure timely case handling
Participate in quality assurance, peer review, and process improvement
Maintain meticulous documentation and strict confidentiality
Engage in CME and supported professional development
