MLT​/MLS Part-Time Evenings and Weekends

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’renot looking to be in the limelight, but ratherto shedsome 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 maybenefitfrom your love of science and research.

There’snobody like you andthat’swhywe’dlove 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 itadds upto you. Andwe’reexcited to get to know you and find out whatyou’llbring to this vital scientific research role.
