You’ll participate in run reviews, participate in proficiency testing, and contribute to contributing to standard operating procedures to optimize workflow and turnaround times. The position emphasizes growth: cross-training opportunities across chemistry, hematology, microbiology, and transfusion medicine; access to continuing education, and potential pathways toward lead technologist or supervisory roles as you demonstrate mastery, leadership, and a commitment to quality.
