Health Services Administration Intern

 Arkanalabs is the biggest kidney pathology laboratory in the country processing more than 21,000 specimens per year. They are recruiting histotechnologists for their laboratory.  As there are no Histotechnology schools in Arkansas, they decided to train their own histotechnologists, who after successful completion of the training can work in the lab.  This is a paid training for a period of one year and salaries during and after the training are very competitive.

Arkana Laboratories is an esoteric pathology practice seeking individuals as paid interns who are interested in caring for patients behind the scenes.  The ideal candidate should be ready to train in a pathology laboratory performing light microscopy, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry and multiple other tests to make a diagnosis required to treat patients.

Interested candidates can apply here- https://arkanalabs.balancetrak.com/202202001
