It gives me immense pleasure that we can see many Microlabs candidates, wherever ver we go, whether in leading hosp hospitals like CMC, Apollo, and Ramachandra, and in reputed Clinical laboratories, and industries like Biocon, and Bharath Biotech, and medical labs related to WHO, and Research centers and hospitals in USA, GULF, Australia, Universities, Colleges and Schools etc., Clinical Laboratory Science professionals (also sometimes called Medical Laboratory Technologists or Medical Technologists or Medical Technician) are are highly skilled scientists who discover the presence or absence of disease and provide data that helps physicians determine the best treatment for the patient. s, laboratory technologists and technicians play a Although they are not often personally involved with patients, crucial role in the process of providing personalized care. are. They generate vitally important data for identifying and treat ing cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and many other health conditions. Using sophisticated biomedical instrumentation and technology, as well as highly skilled manual techniques, clinical laboratory professionals examine and analyze body fluids, tissues, and cells to identify bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms. They analyze the chemical constituents of body fluids, cross match donor blood for transfusions, and test blood for drug levels to measure the efficacy of particular treatments. They also evaluate test results for accura- y and help interpret them for the physician. Clinical Laboratory Technicians (CLT), or Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT) are associate-degreed pro- fessionals, while Clinical Laboratory Scientists (CLS) or Medical Technologists (MT) are baccalaureate-degreed profes- sionals. Much of the laboratory work performed by these professionals is the same, but CLTs focus on collecting. processing, and analyzing biological specimens, performing laboratory procedures, maintaining instruments, and relat- ing findings to common diseases or conditions. CLS/MTs have many similar responsibilities, but because they have a more extensive theoretical knowledge base they conduct more advanced testing, such as molecular diagnostics and highly involved microbiological and cross- matching blood tests. They also evaluate and interpret laboratory results, integrate data, solve problems, consult physicians, conduct research, and evaluate new test methods. CLS/MTs also are more likely to advance to management with positions. Every day, new advances in genetic testing, biomarkers, and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology are creating more challenges and job opportunities for clinical laboratory science professionals. It is a fast-growing field, and there will be great demand for clinical laboratory professionals in the future. Although the likelihood of finding a position in a clinical laboratory varies, depending on the geographic region. professionals in this field can find challenging employment in a wide range of arenas. For instance, among other settings, clinical laboratory professionals can work in: Hospital clinical laboratories, Commercial or reference laboratories, Public health laboratories, Pharmaceutical chemical industries, Biotechnology companies, Forensic and law enforcement laboratories. Veterinary clinics. Research and teaching institutions, Transplant and blood donor centers, Fertility clinics, Cosmetic and food industry. DIRECTOR
