Medical laboratory professionals perform medical tests that help diagnose, treat and prevent disease. Even though these technicians (or assistants) are behind the scenes, they provide information and data that physicians and nurse practitioners use to help the patient.
Being a medical lab assistant is a great career in itself. Or it can be used as a healthcare stepping-stone job.
Just as specimen samples are analyzed in laboratory work, so should resume samples be examined closely. The entry-level medical lab technician resume sample below emphasizes procedural skills developed in a hospital setting.
