Medical Technologist
Clinical laboratory scientist job in Covington, LA
Your job is more than a job.
As a Clinical Laboratory Scientist, you have the uncanny ability to look for that needle in the haystack that may lead to cracking medical mysteries. You're not looking to be in the limelight, but rather to shed some light on health problems and diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and genetic abnormalities. Blood samples or body fluid specimens can hold the answers to research or recovery, so you take a detailed approach to performing clinical laboratory testing, evaluating and reporting data.
And while you may never actually meet your patients personally, you still feel a connection to a real person that may benefit from your love of science and research. There's nobody like you and that's why we'd love to have you be a part of our crack team of scientific sleuths.
Your experiences, your knowledge, your skills, your empathy, your compassion, your personality, all of it adds up to you. And we're excited to get to know you and find out what you'll bring to this vital scientific research role.
