When it comes to specialized careers providing care to Veterans, medical technologists have a home in all our facilities. Whether you want to work in medical centers, diagnostic laboratories or even clinics, you won’t find a greater variety of care environments than at VA.
That’s because medical technologists work across multiple disciplines — including chemistry, hematology, coagulation, urinalysis and microbiology. No matter your area of expertise, your input is crucial to how we diagnose and treat the Veterans we serve.
You’ll earn all of numerous employment benefits we offer every member of our team, not the least of which is access to the Education Debt Reduction Program, which offers reimbursement on qualifying student loans.
At the core of your work, you’ll understand the reward of being of service. Over 9 million Veterans count on VA for the care they need, and your expertise puts you right at the heart of it all. Without medical technologists like you, our physicians and practitioners would have a much harder time finding the right path to bring whole health to the Veterans in our care.
