When a doctor or nurse draws blood, takes a biopsy or collects urine, these samples are typically sent to a lab for analysis. It is the job of a Medical Laboratory Technician, also known as a Clinical Laboratory Technician, to perform diagnostic tests on these samples. Once the tests are complete, Medical Laboratory Technicians will then record the data and discuss their findings with a physician. A Medical Laboratory Technician is well-schooled in operating and maintaining various types of lab equipment.

In some cases, Medical Laboratory Technicians will collect specimen samples, such as drawing blood. In addition to clinical labs, Medical Laboratory Technicians can be employed in hospitals, clinics, pharmaceutical labs and physicians offices. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the employment growth rate for this profession is 14 percent between 2014-2024. An aging population and the growing trend in genetic testing are believed to be major factors influencing this projection.
