Familiarity with laboratory information systems (LIS), diagnostic equipment, and adherence to safety protocols are essential, with certifications like ASCP being advantageous. Strong teamwork, adaptability, and effective communication help navigate high-pressure environments and support mission success. These skills ensure accurate testing, reliable results, and effective medical support for military personnel.
