Medical Laboratory Technician?

The medical laboratory technician (MLT) profession is often a behind-the-scenes job. Working in a hospital or medical facility laboratory, the technician has minimal to no contact with the patients. The primary responsibility of the technician is to operate lab equipment, prepare specimens for testing, run tests, identify abnormalities, and aid in blood-typing. Occasionally they are required to do collect blood specimens from hospital and emergency room patients. This professional is extremely important to the doctor in helping find the cause of illness or monitoring disease and medication. The MLT always works under the supervision of an MT (medical technologist).EducationMedical laboratory technicians must have earned an associate’s degree from a college, university, or technical school. There are many hospitals who work in affiliation with universities who offer this course. A student should have an interest in biology, chemistry, and math. Having a strong high school background in these fields is beneficial. Once obtaining the MLT status, the technician can go on to complete a bachelor’s degree and become an MT (medical technologist).When choosing a school, it is important that the program is accredited by a nationally recognized agency. While some states require the technician to be licensed or registered, some employers want the technician to be certified by a professional association like the American Medical Technologists.SalaryAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual wage for this profession is $32, 840. Starting wages can be anywhere from $19,000 to $26,000. As with all professions, wages can be affected by the geographic area, education, experience, and the work place.Job VariationsThose who work as medical laboratory technicians may work as phlebotomists and perform job functions in microbiology, chemistry, cytology, hematology, and in the blood bank. They look for microorganisms, match blood types for transfusions, and test for drug levels in the blood. They often use microscopes and sophisticated laboratory equipment. With further education, they can advance to Medical Technologists and become supervisors or managers in the laboratory, educators, or chief technologists.
