Any medical lab technologists?

So I'm the Manager of Medical Microbiology in a region of the UK. I am interested in moving over to the USA. Can anyone give advice about the governing bodies there? In the UK i'm HCPC and IBMS accredited. I have my MSc and additional Specialist and Managerial qualifications so I'm sure I have plenty transferable skills. Is there a central site to search for jobs or do I have to look state by state or even hospital by hospital? Is there anywhere you think Scottish people would be welcome or better staying away from?Thanks in advance for your advice. X

    Look into Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem, NC. Huge hospital system and teaching university.

    Lived here for 18 years now (moved from NY) and love it. Great location.

    I am a laboratory technologist, and we are always looking for more employees here in Fairbanks, Alaska. The weather is a bit extreme, both in temperature and in sunlight (dark in winter, light all night in summer). Considering your credentials, I am sure they would be able to help you figure out how they compare to American credentials and get you started. Most states in the USA do not require a license, just a Board of Registry with the proper education.

    Texans love Scotsmen! (although it's hard to compete with Alaska!)
