Possible career opportunities
MLT responsibilities will vary according to the size of the institution in which they are employed and the extent of the services it offers. Job projections predict that the need for clinical laboratory professionals will increase due to increased demand for testing and replacement of retirees. Students build a career as a medical lab technician while others use their entry jobs as a stepping-stone to accomplish other goals, such as four-year degree for a Clinical Lab Scientist (CLS). MLTs can work in hospital laboratories, physician office laboratories, commercial laboratories, biotechnology, research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, technical service and sales, and veterinary laboratories.
