Clinical Laboratory Specialists

Clinical Laboratory Specialist

Duties and Responsibilities: Clinical Technicians conduct tests and prepare reports for clinical technologists or physicians. They collect blood specimen, use microscopes, laboratory equipment, chemicals and computers to preform laboratory procedures. Most clinical laboratory specialists work in hospitals, but they are also employed by private practices, medical groups, research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and universities.

Salary: $20,000 - $28,000

Educational Requirements: Students should take the most challenging high school courses in, science, math, and English. A bachelor's degree in the field is normally required. Many technologists pursue additional graduate education or specialized training to advance their careers in clinical chemistry, blood banking, and microbiology.

Reflection: I would like to become a Clinical Laboratory Specialist because it seems interesting and really cool to learn. Like they could come out in the shows for example Forensic Files.
