Medical Laboratory Scientists are the lifeblood of an effective health care service.

Medical Laboratory Scientists must recognize anomalies in their test results and know how to correct problems with the instrumentation.

A Medical Laboratory Scientist may pursue higher education to advance or further specialize in their career.

Medical Laboratory Scientists operate complex electronic equipment, computers, and precision instruments costing millions of dollars.

Medical Laboratory Scientists then receive the patient specimens, analyze the specimens, interpret and report results.

Medical laboratory scientists work in clinical laboratories at hospitals, doctor's offices, reference labs, and biotechnology labs.

The information that a Medical Laboratory Scientist gives to the doctor influences the medical treatment a patient will receive.

A Medical Laboratory Scientist's role is to provide accurate laboratory results in a timely manner.

Most Medical Laboratory Scientists are generalists, skilled in all areas of the clinical laboratory.

In the United States, Medical Laboratory Scientists can be certified and employed in infection control.

Medical Laboratory Scientists assist doctors and nurses in choosing the correct lab tests and ensure proper collection methods.

In some countries, medical technologists may be called biomedical scientists, medical laboratory scientists or clinical laboratory scientists.

Society of Future Medical Laboratory Scientist (Allied)

Medical Laboratory Scientists work in all areas of the clinical laboratory including blood banking, chemistry, hematology, immunology, histology and microbiology.

A Pathologist may confirm a diagnostic result, but often the Medical Laboratory Scientist is responsible for interpreting and communicating critical patient results to the physician.

Fas Alzamora is married to Ileana Pacheco Morales, a licensed medical laboratory scientist.

This procedure is performed by medical laboratory scientists, medical practitioners, some EMTs, paramedics, phlebotomists, dialysis technicians and other nursing staff.

Clinical laboratory practice: Medical Technologists/Medical Laboratory Scientists in hospital laboratories, clinics and sanitariums.

His father, Thomas, was a pathologist, co-founder of the Council for Professions Supplementary to Medicine and chair the Institute of Medical Laboratory Scientists.

Many different professionals (physicians, clinical pharmacologists, clinical pharmacists, nurses, medical laboratory scientists, etc.) are involved with the various elements of drug concentration monitoring, which is a truly multidisciplinary process.

To maintain the integrity of the laboratory process, the medical laboratory scientist recognizes factors that could introduce error and rejects contaminated or sub-standard specimens, as well as investigates discrepant results.

Education: Medical Technologists/Medical laboratory Scientists can be employed as faculty in colleges and universities offering Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science programs.

FTF-members are e.g. pharmaconomists, journalists, medical laboratory scientists, teachers, bank employees, physical therapists, businesspersons, actors, dental hygienists, police officers, podiatrists, engineers, nurses, stage directors, social workers, radiographers etc.

In some facilities that have few phlebotomists, or none at all, (such as in rural areas) Medical Laboratory Scientists may perform phlebotomy on patients, as this skill is part of the clinical training.

A Medical Laboratory Scientist analyzes human fluid samples using techniques available to the clinical laboratory, such as manual white blood cell differentials, bone marrow counts, analysis via microscopy, and advanced analytical equipment.
