In more complex cases, you'll evaluate all the information and decide whether test results get released, repeated, or sent to a pathologist. You'll refer abnormal or unexpected results to the appropriate person.

What you need to qualify

This role requires Blood Bank specific experience and a bachelor's degree in Medical Laboratory Science or Medical Technology (or a chemical, physical, or biological science). If your degree is in something else but you graduated from an accredited school with science and math coursework that meets certifying agency requirements? That works too.

The bachelor's degree can be waived if you're a medical technologist who was ASCP certified before that requirement existed ; or if you're a HEW/HHS technologist certified by Health and Human Services.
