Where a cytotechnologist can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a cytotechnologist already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Cytotechnologists examines under a miscrocope samples of human cells obtained from various body parts such as the female reproductive tract, the lung or gastrointestinal tract, assist in identifying cell abnormality and disease such as cancer or infectious agents under supervision, following the orders of the doctor of medicine. The abnormal cells are being transferred to the pathologist for medical diagnosis. They may also work under the supervision of a biomedical scientist. They do not treat patients or assist in medical treatments.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a cytotechnologist already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
