Default Re: Health Care Jobs

Hi Sarai and welcome to the board.

I don't know for sure, but I very much doubt that there are people employed as full time medical lab technicians in Antarctica. Yes there are doctors, but they don't spend much of their time on base with ill people usually having a research project to fill their time. Personnel who go down are screened and have thorough medicals before they go, if anything of significance is found or develops once they are in Antarctica, they are evacuated as soon as possible.

The small medical lab you describe will almost certainly be run by the doctor on base in the rare event that it is required to carry out whatever tests are needed.
