IDK how many people on here have worked in a clinical #laboratory but a few years ago I made one of those #halloweencostume memes… I have to say I’m less unhappy in Microbiology than I was in #chemistry. #tbt #throwbackthursday #MT #MLT #lab #medicaltechnologist

A fake Halloween costume package: orange background on the left side text reads:
Medical Technologist Chem Lead
Comes with: Resting Bitch Face, Clicky top pen, lot switches, migraine pills
Not included: brain space, peer data
On right side of image: picture of me. Woman not smiling, glasses, colorful head wrap, with a Levy-Jennings QC graph behind me with a sign that says: No Sniveling

Most people think nurses and such when talking about these shortages, but MLS/MT/MLT programs at colleges are disappearing due to budget constraints. Seriously, who do they think is going to train the next generation? Hiring people with non-specialized degrees isn’t the answer.

most ppl i worked with as a processor didn’t have any medical degree or prior training. most had biology degrees. even as an MLT, some of my coworkers have MT degrees/certs instead of MLT despite working as an mlt

Sorry I wasn’t clear. Our lab assistants and phlebotomy (I think) are unionized. MLT/MT are not, which really sucks. We’ve tried so many times, and there are several ding dongs

Our PhD & MLT students took advantage of a beautiful Pittsburgh fall day to explore Mt. Washington’s Emerald View Park. Here’s to making the most of fall break!

Uuuuugh, my exam is scheduled. It’s in <2 months, and I am probably gonna spiral 😌

For those that missed it, even though they hired me w/o it, my work is making me get my MT/MLS/CLS. My BS (which they helped pay for) + MLT qualifies me to do my job. They refused to change the job description 😡
