As a Cytotechnologist, you will play a critical role in the detection and diagnosis of malignancies, premalignant conditions, atypias, and inflammatory processes through the microscopic evaluation of gynecological and non-gynecological specimens.

- Maintain compliance with all laboratory safety, infection prevention, and accreditation standards.
