Medical Lab Technician

Hey there. I've been recruiting for lab roles for over a decade, and I can tell you this one at Medical City Fort Worth is a solid opportunity. It's not just about running tests; it's about being part of the backbone of patient care in Fort Worth, TX. Let's get into what they're actually looking for.

The Role

You'll be performing chemical, bacteriological, serological, and microscopic testing across different sections of the lab. It's hands on work where accuracy is everything.

Your day involves more than just the assays. You're maintaining detailed records for patient results and all your quality control work. When equipment needs attention, you handle the preventive maintenance and log any fixes. And if they need a hand training new folks in the lab, you might help with that too.

What You Need to Bring

• A Bachelor’s degree is required.
• You must have one of these certifications: Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS), Certified Medical Lab Technologist (CMLT), Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS), or certification from American Medical Technologists (AMT).
• They'd really like to see at least one year of experience working in a hospital lab setting.

The Schedule & The Offer

This is a full time position. They're offering a $10,000 sign on bonus if you meet their qualifications.

The benefits package is extensive. Honestly, it's one of the more comprehensive ones I've seen posted.

• Medical plans cover a lot of common services with low or no copay; they include prescription drug and behavioral health coverage. You get free telemedicine and free AirMed medical transport.
• There are separate options for dental and vision insurance.
• Life insurance and disability coverage are available.
• A 401(k) plan where they match 100% of your contribution, from 3% up to 9% of your pay, depending on how long you've been there.
• An Employee Stock Purchase Plan lets you buy HCA stock at a 10% discount.
• Help with family building through Progyny fertility benefits and adoption assistance programs.
• Education support for tuition, student loans, certifications, and even scholarships for dependents.
• The Time Away From Work Program bundles paid time off, paid family leave, and disability coverage.
• There's also an Employee Health Assistance Fund for colleagues who need it based on income.
