Med Lab Tech
You are a scientist. An analyst. And someone who can spot an issue with an eagle’s eye, reporting problems to physicians through your significantly important work in a medical lab. Med Lab Techs are in high demand, and the field is only expected to grow in the next decade, because their attention to detail can literally make or break a patient’s successful treatment or recovery, starting with you.
