Step into a pivotal role as a Medical Laboratory Technician on a travel assignment that begins 11/18/2025 in Bethel, Alaska. In this environment, your precision and problem-solving will directly support patient care across community clinics and hospital labs. You’ll be part of a high-performing team that values accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration, turning complex specimens into timely, reliable results. This opportunity isn’t just about the science—it’s about the people you serve, the communities you help sustain, and the professional growth you’ll achieve along the way. Bethel’s rugged, pristine backdrop invites you to experience Alaska’s unique blend of culture and wild scenery, from the Kuskokwim River’s rhythms to the dance of the northern lights. The state’s expansive landscapes offer weekend adventures, while the role keeps you connected to state-of-the-art diagnostics and a network of health professionals dedicated to elevating care. For those who crave variety, the program also offers pathways to rotate through other U.S. locations, expanding your clinical exposure and your resume while you contribute wherever you’re needed.
Location Benefits: Bethel represents a distinctive healthcare hub in rural Alaska, where you’ll deliver essential lab services with real impact on patient outcomes.

And when you’re off shift, Alaska’s scenery—from boreal forests to remote waterways and wildlife viewing—offers the perfect balance to recharge.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Medical Laboratory Technician on assignment, you’ll perform a broad spectrum of tests across core laboratory disciplines, including chemistry, hematology, microbiology, serology, and immunology. You’ll operate and troubleshoot analyzers, maintain rigorous quality controls, validate results, and prepare accurate reports for clinicians. You’ll manage specimen accessioning, track turnaround times, and ensure specimen integrity and safety in line with laboratory and regulatory requirements. The role invites professional growth through hands-on experience with diverse instrumentation and populations, plus opportunities to broaden your expertise through cross-training and continuing education opportunities. The position includes a competitive weekly pay range of $1,778–$1,834, with guaranteed 32 hours per week. A sign-on bonus or performance-based incentives may be available, along with housing assistance to ease relocation logistics. Extension opportunities provide a clear pathway to continued assignments and longer-term engagement. Comprehensive support is available 24/7 for traveling clinicians, with dedicated coordinators ready to assist with clinical questions, scheduling, travel needs, and on-site requirements.
Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering staff to grow—both clinically and professionally. We’re committed to fostering a supportive work environment that values clear communication, teamwork, and continuous improvement. You’ll have access to mentorship, structured career development plans, and opportunities to advance into senior lab roles or leadership positions as you demonstrate impact and initiative.
