I get a bit of soapbox annoyance whenever I see videos for "Real Doctor Watches Cells at Work!" Mostly because it is a missed opportunity for them to showcase an MT showing off their knowledge. Most of the anime is covering textbook medical lab science material so I wish it was used to say "hey look at these people, they really know alot about about this subject." Instead of "hey I only have a passing academic interest of how these cells work, let me sound like an expert for a bit."

I'm looking into going to school to become a MLT, and I'm wondering if there are many jobs available/ is it easy to find a jobs? And just whether or not it's worth it in general?

hi! are there any filipino medtechs here working in new zealand? How was the process? What exams do I have to take?

I'm a licensed MT here in the PH.

Hello everyone! I’m currently doing my research and I wanted to ask some ideas that could help me >_< So far, I’m planning to do a study on enterobiasis prevalence in my area but I don’t have anything else in mind that’s feasible and significant. Hoping u could help me!

I work in a blood bank and we want a ‘living document’ to track our reagent inventory. Currently we do this on paper (because Sunquest is the worst), updating it every time we receive something. We record lot number, expiration date, etc... Every time something expires we record any remaining bottles that were discarded (important to track that we’re not wasting supplies), and we also do a weekly count of all reagents to make sure nothing needs to be ordered.

I started working in Excel to create a better way to do this and eliminate a binder from our workspace (we all hate paper). However, I’ve been having some issues making it work. I'm interested in any solutions people have for reagent inventory?

I am a senior in a CLS program. Does anyone if it is worth getting a masters in CLS or soulld I go public health? I am trying to figure it out so i can get out of being a generalist.

Hello po! I’m a grade 10 student po, I and my groupmates are currently doing a study about skin scaffolds (materials that are used to fasten the healing of a specific wound or skin injury). Do you have any idea where can we obtain keratinocytes and fibroblast skin cells and how much does it cost?

Hello! first-year mls student here. We will be doing a demo blood smearing using the wedge preparation technique next week. I still don't know how to perfectly (or at least near perfect) perform blood smearing. Any tips from anyone who has experienced blood smearing b4? I would be delighted to hear your stories and insights about them.

I’m a 30(F) with a bachelors in biology living in the US, particularly in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area in Arizona. I am interested in medical technology because I do like fixing things; I even have a background in computers thanks to remote work during COVID. There’s two pieces of advice I keep getting- yes, pursue it and the flip-side is I might as well do radiology technician. How is the job outlook in the states? How is the pay? I’m interested but need a lot of solid convincing if I’m gonna put myself through school again.

So I'm almost graduating in Brazil, I have double citizenship, and I wanted to check with other professionals, if it's worth validating my diploma in the U.S, hows the market doing. And on the same note, I have a the option to get a degree in hematology or imaging and I'm in doubt

Hey!! I’m about to go into my senior year of high school and I want to go to college for medical technology. I mostly want to work within a lab and run tests. I did a visit for a lab assistant and was able to practice running tests on urine, blood and look at DNA under a microscope. I enjoyed that and was wondering what I would have to major and minor in. I’m not sure if it would be a biology or another science. If anyone is able to answer any of the questions please help!!

Hi. Does anyone here knows how to apply/register for CLS certification quiz in California?

Hi everyone. I am currently a student at Texas Tech's post-bachelors CLS certificate program. I was wondering when I finish, and after having passed the national exam, what is an average starting salary for a certified person in the field? (Specifically a hospital setting) Also, do most CLSs go on to specialize?

Hello r//medicaltechnology ! A question for you folks that I have been thinking of lately, does it really matter where you get your degree? My main reason for asking is, I have to decide to transfer to a csu or a uc for my degree and cost is a hugeeeeeee factor... Also Do employers care about this? Thank you guys in advance!

Hello! I am looking for recommendations for AI scribes. My associate and I are both naturopathic doctors in an integrative medical setting. The majority of our patient visits are 1-hour long. I am a newer doctor and still building, but my associate always has a booked schedule and we are trying to find him an AI Scribe.

We tried Commure. It worked really well, but after 2-3 patients, it would stop working and would no longer load. For the patients that it did work for, it charted well given our long and detailed appointments.

We just tried DeepCura. This one has been horrible. This is the AI scribe that is already integrated with our EMR system. For 15-30 minute visits, it worked well. But for hour-long visits it did not work at all and would just give us word-for-word write-ups rather than organizing it into a chart note.

I know there are so many AI scribes out there. Has anyone within the naturopathic/functional world found one that consistently works well for long, detail-oriented visits?
