Medical Surveillance Technician

Duties & Responsibilities: Medical screening and medical surveillance are two fundamental strategies for optimizing employee health. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, they are quite distinct concepts. Medical screening is, in essence, only one component of a comprehensive medical surveillance program. The fundamental purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment of the individual and thus has a clinical focus.

Salary: Unknown

Education: requirements are generally clinically focused (e.g.,medical and work histories, physical assessment, biological testing) with information obtained from the clinical processes used in the monitoring and analysis elements of medical surveillance.

Reflection: I wouldn’t want to be a medical surveillance technician the entire job seems too dull. There really is not specific information for this job other than that you do surveillance at optimizing someone’s health. This isn’t really what I aspire for in life, and to add on there is no salary known of a medical surveillance technician, nor do I believe this job exisits.
