Tackling Every Clinical Lab’s Medical Technologist Recruiting & Retention Challenge
Learn why medical labs shoot themselves in the foot when advertising and interviewing candidate!

This shortage prevents many clinical laboratory managers from keeping their laboratories staffed at authorized levels.
Equally publicized is the looming mass exodus of Baby Boomers from clinical laboratory positions as they hit retirement age. The oldest Baby Boomers, born in 1946, are turning 63 this year! They are already eligible for early Social Security benefits and just 24 months from turning 65-the age when full Social Security and Medicare benefits are available to them.
