Medical Director, Clinical Laboratories – Huntington Hospital
Huntington, NY (Northwell Health)
Huntington Hospital, a distinguished non-profit, 371-bed community hospital within Northwell Health, is seeking an accomplished and Board-Certified AP/CP Pathologist for a pivotal dual role as Staff Pathologist and Medical Director to oversee Anatomic and Clinical Pathology laboratories. This is an exceptional opportunity for a dynamic leader to contribute to both clinical excellence and departmental oversight.
The ideal candidate will possess robust experience in surgical pathology, complemented by demonstrated leadership capabilities. While new graduates with exceptional leadership potential may be considered, significant post-fellowship experience is strongly preferred.

Furthermore, Huntington Hospital is distinguished by its profoundly robust surgical oncology program, offering a compelling and complex clinical environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Provide strategic and operational leadership for the entire Pathology Department.

Oversee all clinical and administrative functions, ensuring compliance with all regulatory and accreditation standards.
Lead, mentor, and evaluate pathology staff, fostering professional growth and a culture of collaboration.
Collaborate effectively with hospital administration, medical staff, and other departments to optimize patient care pathways.
Participate in budget planning, resource allocation, and technology adoption within the department.
Serve as the primary liaison for pathology services within the hospital and the broader Northwell Health system.
