Day Shift We're offering a generous sign-on bonus of $10,000 to eligible candidates who join our team. Recognizing and valuing exceptional talent, we're excited to discuss the details of this bonus during the interview process. As required by CLIA, testing personnel are responsible for specimen processing, test performance, and reporting test results. Each individual performs only those tests authorized by the laboratory director that require a degree of skill appropriate to their education, training, experience, and technical abilities. They work independently in an efficient and organized manner to ensure accurate results and records. The role requires professional knowledge to accurately read and interpret test results used by providers in diagnosing and treating diseases. The Medical Laboratory Scientist, Senior I, in their role as Technical Supervisor, Technical Consultant, or General Supervisor as defined by CLIA, may be delegated responsibility for the technical oversight of the laboratory, including day-to-day supervision of operations and personnel performing testing and reporting results. Under the general supervision of the Technical Director and Clinical Supervisors, the Senior Technologist I oversees assigned workstations, including Quality Control (QC) review, training, competency assessment of staff, and inventory management. Does this position require patient care? No Essential Functions After successful completion of orientation, training, and competency assessment on all applicable instruments and methods: Follow the laboratory's procedures for specimen handling, processing, test analyses, reporting, and maintaining patient test result records. Maintain records demonstrating that proficiency testing samples are tested in the same manner as patient samples. Adhere to the laboratory's quality control policies and document all quality control activities, instrument and procedural calibrations, and maintenance. Follow established corrective action policies and procedures whenever test systems are not within acceptable performance levels. Identify problems that may affect test performance or result reporting and either correct them or immediately notify the appropriate supervisor, consultant, or director.
