As part of the normal job requirements, the Medical Technologist will be required to oversee and direct lab assistants, medical and clinical laboratory technicians, and technologists. These are routine expectations for Medical Technologists, and we want to make clear that it is not a supervisory role. Rather, the Medical Technologist will oversee other members of the laboratory staff in the normal course of their duties. The Medical Technologist will not have hiring, firing, or appraisal authority over other members of the laboratory staff.
