That depends on what kind of "临床lab" are you talking about. If you are talking about the medical diagnostic lab (化验室), then you need a license. So, please first clarify what you mean.

you are not 严密. Actually, licensure is for specific position not lab. enve 临床lab still can hire researcher without medical realted licensure

I heard that such positions require some core courses too The job is very boring; the pay is not bad though
Very complicated. Unlike the medical degree which only has a major board, the field of clinical lab has three major boards in USA. American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) National Credentialing Agency for Laboratory Personnel, Inc American Medical Technologists Several other smaller boards also exist in USA. You need to: 1. check with your state policy, see which board's license is accepted in your state. 2. check the board's requirement.You need to have a degree from a accredited program
hahaha, very detailed and true you must have researched into it for a while
accredited you Graduation

Thanks. If I had other choices, I wouldn't have thought of going to clinical lab.

Thank you very much for the detail information. Are you in this field now? How do you feel about working in a diagnostic lab?

No I am not in the field. I am still doing a 千老 in a basic research lab:) The good and bad of working in diagnostic lab has been said by other people. Basically, the work is very stable, but you most likely will have to take another year's course in a community college or somewhere because most schools in China are not accredited by the American's boards for med tech. Also, another potential problem is most of those job positions don't sponsor H-1B
lab?

Thanks again. I've got EAD, so I don't need H-1B. But the long-hour stressful/backbreaking work in the research lab has destroyed my health. I'm concerned whether it is very demanding or stressful working in a diagnostic lab.

The work in a clinical lab is not very demanding or stressful as far as I know. You basically work a 9-5 schedule (unless you work in a ER med lab)
backbreaking it

Lab technicians in hospitals have call schedules too. It's definitely not 9-5 only office job.
backbreaking it

There is a difference between technician and technologist. Technologists make more money. But as I mentioned, in most circumstances, technician/ technologist ratio is very high. Molecular diagnostics is another category and requires different certification.

for one thing, you confused lab certification with personnel certification. molecular diagnostics is different, for one thing, technologist is typically the entry level.
