Clinical Laboratory Scientists (Medical Technologists) are credentialed health professionals who are a vital part of the healthcare team.

Clinical Laboratory Scientists perform laboratory tests to diagnose and treat disease and maintain health. In the hospital, clinical laboratory scientists analyze blood, body fluids and tissues to detect disease. They work with sophisticated computerized equipment such as automated chemistry and hematology analyzers, GLC-Mass spectrophotometers, and thermal cyclers for molecular testing. Clinical Laboratory Scientists develop and evaluate new procedures, maintain quality assurance, educate healthcare professionals and manage the laboratory.
