Clinical
Technologist
Clinical technologists perform more complex laboratory
tests and procedures than technicians. They also supervise technicians, confirm
their tests, and manage laboratory quality control programs.
Most clinical laboratory specialists work in hospitals,
but they are also employed by private practices, medical groups, research
laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and universities.
Average salary:
$20,000 - $28,000 (Clinical
laboratory technicians)
$25,000 - $40,000 (Clinical
technologists)
Educational Requirements:
Students should take the most challenging high school
courses in science, math, and English.
An associate’s degree in the field or completion of
specialized in-house training program is required to become a clinical
laboratory technician.
A bachelor’s degree in the field is normally required
to become a clinical technologist; however some employers accept an associate’s
degree and extensive clinical experience as a substitute. Many technologists
pursue additional graduate education or specialized training to advance their careers
in clinical chemistry, blood banking, and microbiology.
