Pathologist Jobs in Missouri: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a pathologist in Missouri?

To practice as a pathologist in Missouri, you must hold an active license from the Missouri State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts, which requires graduation from an accredited medical school, completion of a pathology residency, and passage of the United States Medical Licensing Examination. Most Missouri employers also expect board certification through the American Board of Pathology before or shortly after hire. Fellowship training strengthens candidacy for subspecialty or academic positions.

How much do pathologists make in Missouri?

Pathologists in Missouri earn a median of about $261,830 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $196,360 for the lowest 10% to over $371,290 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire pathologists in Missouri?

Missouri pathologist roles are posted by HiredFirst, Voyage Health, and Phoenix Home Care and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Missouri's mix of large academic health systems, regional hospital networks, and national reference laboratory operations means pathologist openings appear across a broad range of employer types and practice settings.

Which Missouri cities have the most pathologist jobs?

St. Louis, Kansas City, and Saint Joseph consistently lead Missouri for pathologist openings. St. Louis and Kansas City drive most of the volume through their large academic medical centers and multi-hospital health systems, while Columbia generates steady demand from MU Health Care and its affiliated teaching programs, which recruit pathologists at both the attending and trainee level year-round.

Are there remote pathologist jobs in Missouri?

Yes, but they're limited. About 0% of pathologist openings tied to Missouri are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most pathology work. The subspecialties most suited to remote arrangements are telepathology and digital slide review, where some employers allow off-site interpretation for routine or overflow caseloads.

How can I get hired as a pathologist in Missouri with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is completing a pathology residency at a Missouri training program, such as those at Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis University, or the University of Missouri, which place residents directly into attending roles upon graduation. New graduates without subspecialty fellowships can target staff pathologist or locum tenens positions at community hospitals and regional reference labs. Obtaining Missouri licensure and sitting for American Board of Pathology certification before your first hire date removes a common barrier for entry-level candidates.

Where can I find and apply to pathologist jobs in Missouri?

You can find and apply to pathologist jobs in Missouri on Migrate Mate, which lists current Missouri openings from health systems, laboratories, and other employers across the state. Find roles that fit your training and subspecialty and apply directly from the listing.
