Together these two laboratories provide all the Clinical Flow Cytometry testing services for the province, which has an estimated population of 4.5 million, as well as testing for samples referred in from other jurisdictions. The successful candidate will provide medical leadership across both sites, with an emphasis on standardization of testing. Additional responsibilities will include diagnostic case review and interpretation, assay validation and implementation, quality assurance, and compliance with regulatory standards. The role includes the opportunity to mentor technologists and hematopathologists, while fostering collaboration with clinicians, researchers, and academic partners.
