They also frequently troubleshoot technical issues and collaborate closely with nurses, physicians, and laboratory personnel to support efficient patient care. This hands-on role requires adaptability and attention to detail, as procedures and test volumes can vary based on the needs of the clinical setting.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the POCT position?
