Description:

Medical Laboratory Assistants are medical laboratory professionals who collect patient specimens, perform pre-analytical procedures to prepare them for analysis, and do data entry, clerical and reception duties. As an integral member of the health care team, the medical laboratory assistant is part of the front line laboratory staff and is often the first person with whom patients and clients interact. The profession therefore requires strong communication and organizational/time management skills as well as professional conduct.
