This response is  a bit off subject as I am not enquiring about the vacancy
and please accept my apologies in advance if the question seems a bit
stupid, but why do you need a night shift in a cellular pathology
department.
Do you have pathologists  also working 7/24 reporting the cases which are
produced overnight. If there is a completely different model of
Histopathology delivery in the USA I'm sure Some of us in the UK would be
interested in a brief outline. Sorry I'm sending this again Vinnie, I forgot
to cc it to the listserver
