Clinical Laboratory Science 

Medical technologists perform laboratory tests used to diagnose and treat disease and maintain health. Medical technologists, or clinical laboratory scientists. work in blood banking, chemistry, hematology, immunology, microbiology and urinalysis.

They assure that test results are accurate and reliable. In the hospital
clinical laboratories, laboratory scientists analyze blood, body fluids and tissues to detect disease. They work with sophisticated  computerized technology such as automated chemistry and hematology analyzers, GLC-Mass spectrophotometers and molecular testing such as PCR and DNA probes. Medical technologists also develop and evaluate new test procedures, maintain quality assurance programs, educate laboratory professionals and manage the laboratory. As a consequence of their competence in this critically important body of knowledge, medical technologists (clinical laboratory scientists) are sought in clinical areas, research, and industry.
