Familiarity with dissection tools, specimen preservation techniques, and laboratory management systems is typically required. Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and respectful communication are crucial for maintaining lab integrity and supporting educational activities. These skills ensure accurate specimen handling, a safe learning environment, and effective collaboration with students and instructors.
