Medical laboratory technologist

A laboratory technologist operates laboratory equipment, sets up experiments and records observations and results. Their tasks call for a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail. Some specialise in microbiology, genetics, immunology and molecular biology. A medical assistant, on the other hand, is more concerned with administrative and clinical duties, running the office of physicians and other health practitioners. There are many other technicians and assistants with different tasks. However, all of their responsibilities are geared toward aiding nurses and doctors in their duties.
