A gross tech--short for "grossing technician"--refers to a laboratory professional who examines human specimens to diagnose and treat medical patients. This process has become integral to understanding a patient's needs, as well as to documenting medical issues in the deceased to form a better understanding of the living. Modern technology has greatly advanced the medical industry, which readers will learn more about throughout this volume. With helpful illustrations and age-appropriate text, readers broaden their understanding of STEM curricula from outside the classroom and develop a greater knowledge of medical technology.
