Any medical lab technologists?



Recommended Posts

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!)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
