Among the functions a Medical Lab Technologist are to conduct microscopic examination and analysis of blood, body fluids, tissues and cells; identify bacteria, parasites and other microorganisms; cross match blood for transfusion; and perform differential cell counts and carry out quality assurance measures that ensure the accuracy of test results
A Medical Lab Technologists’ job requires the usage of sophisticated equipment and instruments to perform several tests simultaneously, and to follow procedures at all times. Some technologists work only in laboratories while others may have direct contact with patients when collecting samples.
