• Ability to work independently and exercise sound judgment in a hospital laboratory setting.


• Willingness to participate in on-call coverage and respond to emergent laboratory needs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong, recent Blood Bank experience.


• Prior phlebotomy experience.


• Experience working in a small hospital laboratory with broad, multidisciplinary responsibilities.


• Ability to adapt quickly to facility-specific procedures, instrumentation, and workflows.


• Phlebotomy training will be provided; however, candidates must be willing and able to perform patient blood draws.
