How to become a lab technician?
I am a senior in college about to graduate with a major in education and a minor in psychology. But I don’t want to be a teacher! I think I would enjoy working in a lab in a hospital testing blood, urine samples, pregnancy tests. Things like that. What schooling do you need for that?

You can get a entry level position, with little or no experience. You generally have to be a phlebotomist first (the guy who draws the blood) unless you go to a 2 or 4 year program. Check with local hospitals see if you can shadow a tech or if they will train you. You should know there is great variety of “lab techs” from medical and clinical laboratory technologists, medical and clinical laboratory technicians, histotechnologists and histotechnicians, cytogenetic technologists, depending on training and specialization.

I believe it’s a college certification, a diploma, so you have to be certified through an institute.
Look online for colleges that you can take the courses from. 🙂
Good luck!
