As a Clinical Laboratory Scientist on this travel assignment, you’ll perform high-complexity testing across core laboratory disciplines, including hematology, clinical chemistry, immunology, microbiology, and transfusion services, depending on assignment needs. Your responsibilities include accurately accessioning specimens, running and validating assays on automated platforms, performing quality control and proficiency testing, troubleshooting instrument issues, and maintaining meticulous documentation to ensure compliance with CLIA, CAP, and internal quality standards. You’ll interpret results with clinical context, communicate findings to physicians and care teams, and support test validations for new methodologies. You’ll also have opportunities to cross-train, expand into emerging tests, and contribute to process improvements that boost efficiency and accuracy. The role emphasizes not only technical proficiency but collaborative problem-solving, meticulous attention to detail, and a patient-centered mindset that honors the trust placed in laboratory professionals. With 24/7 support while traveling with the company, you’ll have dependable guidance and resources at every step, from housing logistics to shift coverage and onboarding.

You’ll benefit from comprehensive support services, including a dedicated travel support team available around the clock to resolve housing, logistics, credentialing, and day-to-day scheduling questions—because focusing on science should come with peace of mind, not stress.
