What is a remote pathologist assistant?

Remote Pathologist Assistants are trained professionals who provide support to pathologists in diagnosing diseases by preparing and examining tissue samples, but they perform many of their duties remotely using digital pathology systems. They may assist with grossing specimens, managing laboratory data, and ensuring accurate documentation, all while collaborating virtually with healthcare teams. This role enables pathologist assistants to work from locations outside a traditional laboratory setting, which can improve workflow efficiency and expand access to pathology services.
