title: A study of job turnover among clinical laboratory personnel.
abstract: A study of job turnover in clinical laboratories in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area was conducted in the years 1970, 1975, and 1980. Annual turnover rates for all laboratory personnel were 20%, 19% and 15% respectively. The groups with the lowest turnover were cytotechnologists, histologic technicians and clinical laboratory scientists (medical technologists). The highest turnover occurred among clinical laboratory technicians and "others," primarily supportive personnel such as phlebotomists, assistants, and aides.
