Your day begins by preparing your supplies and reviewing your patient list, ensuring everything is ready for a smooth and efficient shift.

Throughout your shift, you transport specimens promptly to the laboratory, keeping workflows moving and supporting timely results. You remain focused on quality at every step—following procedures, documenting your work, and staying alert for any abnormal results that require escalation.
