Frequently
Asked Questions
What are the requirements to travel as an MLT?
Healthcare traveler requirements vary by facility and state. As a best practice, be sure your licenses and certifications are up to date before you apply. You may need to obtain an additional license specific to the state in which you plan to work. And while not always required, Med Lab Techs with at least 2 years of on-the-job experience have better odds of getting placed.

It’s important to first find and commit to a healthcare staffing agency you want to work with, then just go for it – apply for the job! LRS Healthcare recruiters take pride in listening to your requests and finding you the best travel job that pays well and matches your lifestyle and interests.
How much will I be paid to travel as a Medical Lab Technician (MLT)?
Pay packages vary by experience, job, facility and agency.

These variables affect what your take home pay could be and could potentially vary from the number promoted on the job post.
