What's the difference between a Biochemist & a Medical Lab Technologist?
Asked by pra_mitta
I was just accepted an offer to work as Biochemist in medical lab of testing blood. Does a Biochemist need a license or certificate like a Medical Lab Technologist? Can a Biochemist work as Medical Lab Technologist in the future? What are the differences in between? I hope to get more detail information for these two positions. TQ

Generally, medical technologists are certified by national certifying bodies such as ASCP, CNA, and AMT (see links below for more info). As far as I know, biochemists would need to be certified if they are employed in a medical/clinical setting (perform patient testing). Otherwise, if reference or for research purposes, certification is usually not required.
