A specimen processor, or specimen accessioner, is a healthcare professional who processes biological specimens and information from a patient once it arrives to a lab. Specimen processors may also be considered laboratory aides, phlebotomy technicians, or clinical laboratory technicians. Specialist specimen processors may need an associate degree or a post-secondary diploma from a specialized program. If you collect samples, you may need to earn a certificate in phlebotomy. Some community colleges offer associate degrees or diplomas for lab technicians. The Specimen processing work there is very boring and monotonous. You literally have to bring your podcast to keep from falling asleep. You will be working with raggedy equipment, and the training is horrible. An accurate specimen collection technique is essential to reduce the risk of contamination, which can lead to inaccurate results and inappropriate treatment.
