Pathologists’ assistants carry out increasingly sophisticated procedures, examinations and determinations in clinical laboratories, hospital laboratories and medical research centers. There is a nation-wide demand for pathologists' assistants and according to Indeed.com, the average salary for a pathologist assistant is $100,000.
Upon successful completion of their training, graduates are employed by pathologists in hospital laboratories, clinical laboratories and medical research centers. During the first three semesters of the six-semester curriculum, students concentrate on course work and attend weekly conferences at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in West Haven, Connecticut. These conferences orient them to hospital lab settings and prepare them for intensive clinical training at affiliated area hospitals during the second year.
Though the deadline has passed (the deadline for application is December 15), it is important to start preparing for admission. The Pathologists' Assistant program runs on a different schedule than other graduate programs. Interviews are required for admission and are conducted throughout the year until February, and the six-semester class cycle begins the first week of June. Check out the admission requirements and the curriculum for a deeper look at the program.
