Position Summary
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM), in partnership with IU Health Medical Group (IUHMG), is seeking to recruit an anatomic pathologist with strong diagnostic skills in surgical pathology and cytopathology at our IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Indiana. Additional specific subspecialty areas are welcome. The pathology footprint at Ball Memorial currently includes two full-time anatomic pathologists (this position will expand to three full-time pathologists), a pathologists’ assistant, and one cytologist. This recruitment is part of a strategic expansion driven by continued growth across the Indiana University Health (IU Health) system.
IU Health is committed to expanding access to high-quality, patient-centered care, with growing opportunities at our Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Indiana. Ball offers a comprehensive range of services, including emergency, surgical, and specialty care, bringing advanced healthcare closer to home for individuals and families in the region.
IU Health Ball is part of the 17-hospital IU Health Laboratory System, served by approximately 70 anatomic pathologists. Although based in Muncie, the pathologists at Ball have access to the expertise of the subspecialized pathologists operating out of the department’s IU Health Central Pathology Laboratory in Indianapolis. Being a part of the expansive IU Health Laboratory system affords the ideal candidate the ability to practice in a community environment with the support of the enriched environment created by an academic pathology practice.
