Cytopathologist – NYC Suburbs

The Northwell Health Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine seeks a Board-Certified/Board-Eligible Cytopathologist for its central Anatomic Pathology Services practice, serving Nassau and Suffolk Counties in Long Island and the Queens borough of New York City. This central practice covers the tertiary Long Island Jewish Medical Center, with its robust Surgical Oncology programming for the central region of the 28-hospital Northwell Health system, and the quaternary North Shore University Hospital. The annual volume of cytology cases exceeded 243,000 in 2025, of which 207,000 were gynecologic, 25,000 non-gynecologic, and 11,000 were FNA specimens.
