Finding a Second Career Calling in Medical Laboratory Technology
_ From vet tech to lab tech After spending two decades as a veterinary technician, Jennifer Rector &), Jennifer is committed to continuing her career journey by seeking advanced training for her future in the lab. She’s currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree to become a medical laboratory supervisor.
“When I first actually stepped foot in the hospital lab I got the feeling of: ‘Ah, yep, this is it. This is what I can do until it's time to retire.’ After 23 years as a vet tech, I didn’t know if I’d find another calling, but I find this career very, very fulfilling. We’re helping the doctors make their decisions by running the samples that give them the information they need to choose what to do next. It is a joy to find the second thing that I love doing this much.”
