What are the prospects for a career as a pathology assistant?
Employment of all physician assistants (including pathology assistants) is expected to grow much faster than average for all professions, increasing 27% from 2006 to 2016 (1). The rising demand for pathology services will fuel job growth. Job prospects are expected to be good especially in rural and inner-city areas. Job openings will also arise from the need to replace pathology assistants that retire, transfer, or leave the field for other reasons.
