What does a med tech do?

A Medical Technologist (Med Tech) or Medical Laboratory Technician (Med Lab Tech) performs laboratory tests on patient samples such as blood, urine, and tissue. These tests help doctors diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases. They operate complex laboratory equipment, analyze results, and ensure quality control in testing processes. Med Techs typically have more advanced education and may perform more complex analyses, while Med Lab Techs often focus on routine testing and sample preparation.
