Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research. Permanent appointment may be made by non-competitive promotion of an applicant who meets the position’s minimum qualifications if all requirements of non-competitive promotion are met.
The promotion field for the Medical Technologist 2 positions consists of candidates who have one year of permanent service as a Medical Technologist 1.
Duties Description As a Medical Technologist 2, you would be primarily responsible for maintaining and administering the lab’s quality management program. In this supervisory role, the ability to work independently with flexibility, adaptability, efficiency, accuracy and professionalism is paramount. As an integral member of a collaborative laboratory environment, you may be required to perform diagnostic testing in one or more sections of the clinical laboratory, including hematology, chemistry, special chemistry, endocrinology, therapeutic drug monitoring, serology, urinalysis, microbiology or logistics. You would be expected to comply with the Lab Director’s approved Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
Responsibilities of this position include identifying internal and external quality issues, developing methods and designating responsibility to assess and collate data, timely reporting of findings, coordinating remediation, and demonstrating resolution. While the laboratory is fully computerized and automated, each department routinely uses both manual procedures as well as highly complex diagnostic analyzers interfaced with the laboratory information system. As part of the analytic process, you would be involved with various aspects of instrumentation including maintenance, calibration and quality control. Administrative/Non-production responsibilities may include the implementation of new procedures, maintenance of inventories, participating with administrative committees for long term planning, safety and quality improvement, and direct involvement with various regulatory agencies, such as the New York State Department of Health and the College of American Pathologists
