Medical Technologist Jobs / Candidates

Medical technologists are entitled to use the credential "MT" after their names. Those certified by the American Society for Clinical Pathology may use "MT(ASCP)". Additional certifications may also be used, such as the "SBB" (Specialist in Blood Banking) certification from the American Association of Blood Banks-accredited programs, or "H" (Hematology) or "BB" (Blood Banking). These can be appended to the credential, for example, "MT(ASCP)SBB".

In the United States, the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments define the level of qualification required to perform tests of various complexity. A medical technologist holds the highest such qualification, and is in general qualified to perform the most complex clinical testing, such as HLA testing (tissue-typing) and blood type reference testing.
