Pediatric Pathology Position Department:

Pathology, Texas Children’s Hospital

The Department of Pathology at Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) is seeking to expand its faculty in the Division of Anatomic Pathology with two M.D., D.O. or M.D./Ph.D. board-certified or board-eligible pediatric pathologists. The academic appointment will be at the level of Assistant Professor (tenure‑track) or Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology & Immunology at Baylor College of Medicine.

TCH, the nation’s largest children’s hospital, is a member of the U.S. News and World Report’s 2024 Honor Roll of Best Children’s Hospitals and ranks in the top 10 of all individually ranked pediatric subspecialties. The Texas Children’s Hospital complex, located within the Texas Medical Center, includes a full range of primary to complex pediatric services and a large pediatric solid organ transplantation center. Adult services within the TCH complex include high‑risk obstetrics and a newly opened Adult Congenital Heart Disease program. The broader TCH facilities network is comprised of a community hospital in suburban West Houston, The Woodlands, and the North Austin campus opened in 2024.

Expansion in the size and scope of Texas Children’s Hospital necessitates additional support in pediatric surgical and autopsy pathology, placental/perinatal pathology, solid organ transplant pathology, and cytopathology services. Additional subspecialty services include neuropathology, hematopathology, electron microscopy and gynecologic pathology. The combined annual surgical case volume exceeds 17,000 specimens from pediatric and gynecologic surgeries and obstetric deliveries, 3,000 additional cytopathology cases, and 120 pediatric and perinatal autopsies annually.

Pathologists at Texas Children’s Hospital have primary full‑time academic appointments in the Department of Pathology & Immunology at Baylor College of Medicine, and are expected to contribute to educational and scholarly activities, resident and fellow education, and research activities across numerous institutions within the Texas Medical Center.
