Medical Laboratory Technician

Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLTs) conduct laboratory tests to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. They prepare samples, perform tests, and analyze results under the supervision of laboratory technologists or pathologists. MLTs work with various laboratory equipment and techniques, including blood analysis, microbiology, and chemical testing. Attention to detail, precision, and adherence to safety protocols are critical in this role. MLTs must have an associate degree in medical laboratory technology or a related field and often require certification or licensure depending on the region.
