Histotechnician / Medical Assistant - Chandler, AZ

HealthOp Solutions • Chandler, AZ

18h • $28 - $30 • Onsite

About The Position

This is a unique hybrid role that blends hands-on patient care with technical histology work in a fast-paced dermatology setting. You’ll split your time between assisting providers during procedures and preparing tissue samples critical to accurate diagnosis—particularly within a Mohs surgery environment.
On the clinical side, you’ll work closely with dermatology providers, preparing patients, assisting with procedures like biopsies and excisions, and supporting post-procedure care. You’ll play a key role in keeping clinic flow efficient while ensuring patients feel informed and cared for throughout their visit.
In the lab, you’ll handle tissue specimens with precision—processing, embedding, sectioning, and staining samples for pathology review. Your attention to detail directly impacts diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both patient interaction and technical lab work, and thrives in a setting where both skill sets are used daily.
