Precision Medicine Specialists

With additional on-the-job training, experience, and advanced education, precision medicine technologists, technicians, and analysts can become scientists, engineers, or physicians. Skilled engineers and scientists with managerial abilities can become lead engineers or lead scientists. These professionals oversee teams of engineers or scientists (as well as technologists and other lower-level workers). Some lead scientists and engineers advance to become department managers, while others move up to executive-level positions. Other advancement paths include becoming a professor or consultant or launching a precision medicine start-up company.
