Pathologist Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pathologist in Massachusetts?
To practice as a pathologist in Massachusetts, you must hold an active medical license from the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine, which requires graduation from an accredited medical school, completion of an ACGME-accredited pathology residency, and passing the USMLE or COMLEX licensing exams. Most Massachusetts employers also require board certification through the American Board of Pathology. Fellowship training in a subspecialty strengthens candidacy considerably at the state's academic and research-affiliated institutions.
How much do pathologists make in Massachusetts?
Pathologists in Massachusetts earn a median of about $285,240 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $97,640 for the lowest 10% to over $459,920 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pathologists in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring pathologists in Massachusetts right now include Preferred Therapy Solutions, HiredFirst, and Voyage Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of academic medical centers, specialty reference labs, and integrated health systems means openings appear across a broad range of practice settings, from community hospitals to major research institutions.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most pathologist jobs?
Pittsfield, Boston, and Worcester have the most pathologist openings in Massachusetts. Boston leads due to its dense cluster of world-renowned academic medical centers and teaching hospitals, while Worcester is anchored by UMass Memorial Health and UMass Chan Medical School, and Springfield draws demand from Baystate Health, the region's largest integrated health system.
Are there remote pathologist jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they are relatively limited. About 10% of pathologist openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most pathology practice. The subspecialties most compatible with remote work are digital pathology consultation, telepathology review, and certain molecular or genomic interpretation roles that do not require direct tissue handling.
How can I get hired as a pathologist in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a pathology residency position at a Massachusetts teaching hospital, such as those affiliated with Harvard Medical School, Boston University, or UMass Chan Medical School, which accept newly graduated MDs and DOs. After residency, fellowship programs at institutions like Dana-Farber Cancer Institute or Mass General offer subspecialty training that transitions directly to staff roles. Candidates without residency should target clinical laboratory technician or pathologist assistant positions as a lateral entry point while pursuing their board pathway.
Where can I find and apply to pathologist jobs in Massachusetts?
