Join our Laboratory Services team and play a key role in delivering high-quality diagnostic results that physicians and patients rely on every day.

Why This Role Matters

As a Medical Laboratory Scientist (ASCP), you’ll perform moderate- and high-complexity testing across the full laboratory workflow—pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic.

  • Maintain compliance when test systems fall outside acceptable performance ranges
  • Demonstrate consistent attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality work
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with laboratory leadership and team members
  • Work independently with minimal supervision and make sound decisions when leadership is unavailable
  • Adhere to all safety protocols and promote a safe, compliant laboratory environment

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in medical laboratory science, medical technology, or a related biological or chemical science from an accredited institution
  • Or qualifying associate degree or approved military medical laboratory training

Experience

  • Minimum of one year of full-time clinical laboratory experience
