You’ll participate in proficiency testing, participate in process improvement initiatives, and help maintain a safe and compliant laboratory environment in alignment with CLIA, CAP, and institutional standards. This role offers substantial room for professional growth: cross-training across disciplines such as hematology, chemistry, microbiology, and blood bank; opportunities to advance toward senior technologist roles and leadership pathways; access to continuing education resources, specialty certifications, and supported attendance at relevant workshops or conferences.
