Join us and you’ll be part of an integrated team of people who care deeply about making a difference. Your work will have a real-life impact on people’s health through the practice of pathology and laboratory medicine.
Be a changemaker.
At the CAP, meaningful work doesn’t mean working at hyper-speed or doing everything on a grand scale. We take pride in being deliberate and accurate because patients are counting on us to be. You’ll enjoy being a part of a collaborative team who truly care about their work, constantly seeking new ways to learn and grow as professionals and as people. We’re just the right size – large enough for you to be challenged by the complexities of our business but small enough to really get to know people and leave your fingerprint on this vital work.
Our organization is committed to providing opportunities for growth and development for our members and employees alike. If you are looking to make a meaningful impact in the field of pathology and laboratory medicine, we invite you to join us and help shape the future of healthcare.
