What Is Cytotechnology And Molecular Cytology?
Great patient care begins with an accurate diagnosis. 细胞技术和分子细胞学涉及观察和解释细胞和分子水平上的重要线索, 允许细胞病理学团队做出准确和具体的诊断,最终有助于为患者制定适当的治疗计划.

Cytology is the study of living cells 和 the detection of various infections, autoimmune diseases, 和 abnormalities such as precancerous 和 cancerous cells. As a licensed cytotechnologist, 你将扮演细胞侦探的角色——检查人体细胞标本来解释病人体内发生了什么.

成功的细胞技术专家具有对细节的高度关注和解决难题的热情. But most of all, 他们有一个共同的愿望,那就是改善病人的健康状况——他们中的许多人甚至可能从未见过他们.

Cytotechnologist jobs are found in hospital 和 private laboratories, university medical centers 和 government facilities. Because of the increased use of cytologic testing for the confirmation of disease, more cytotechnologists are needed.

Cytotechnologist Jobs
Cytotechnology is an ever-evolving field with tremendous growth potential, 未来十年,对临床实验室技术人员的需求预计将增长11%.

ACPHS graduates have gone on to successful careers as cytotechnologists, lab supervisors, 和 cytology educators working at organizations like:

• Albany Medical Center 
• St. Peter's Health Partners 
• University of Rochester Medical Center 
• Rochester Regional Health 
• Roswell Park Cancer Institute
• Northwell Health 
• Stony Brook Medicine

According to Salary.拥有硕士学位的细胞技师的平均工资是84,838 - 89,287美元. 当你获得更多的经验时,拥有硕士学位将使你很有可能晋升到实验室的高级职位.
