  1. LABORATORY CAREERS

  2. Clinical Laboratory Science • Pathologist • medical doctor who examines specimens of body tissue, fluids, and secretions to diagnose diseases. • must complete medical school and then obtain additional training. • May act a consultant – determining the effectiveness of treatment and the cause of death. • In many hospitals, the pathologist supervises the lab • Clinical laboratory scientist • perform clinical laboratory testing and analyzes the results using independent judgment. • calibrate equipment and work under the supervision of the pathologist or lab supervisor. • Bachelors degree and passing a certification exam is the minimum requirement in most states. • Some states require licensure

  3. Clinical Laboratory Scientist • Microbiology technologist: grows and isolates microorganisms • Cytotechnologist: prepares and screens cells • Chemistry technologist: analyzes body fluids and wastes • Hematology technologist: studies blood cells • Immunology technologist: studies resistance to pathogens

  4. Clinical Laboratory Science • Clinical laboratory technician • Histology technician • Medical laboratory assistant • Phlebotomist

  5. Blood Banking • Donor recruitment • Collection and processing of donor blood • Testing and typing of blood • Laboratory supervision • Teaching • Specialists in blood bank technology (SBB)

  6. Life Science • Life scientist or researcher • Microbiologist • Virologist • Mycologist • Immunologist • Biochemist • Biochemistry technologist • Biotechnologist/Genetic Engineers

  7. Biotechnologist • Applies scientific and engineering techniques to the manipulation of the genes of living organisms • Biotechnologists work in • Research • Forensics • Immunology • Teaching

  8. Biotechnologist (continued) • Medical biotechnologist • Works with the production of antibodies for diagnosis or treatment of disease • Research biotechnologist • Supervises the work of associates and assistants in industry and health care to find better products and solutions to disorders

  9. Biotechnologist (continued) • Forensic biotechnologist – Uses biological samples from a crime scene such as hair, skin, and blood to identify suspects • Geneticists – Studies patterns of inheritance and develops methods to influence genetic information

  10. Support Personnel • Biomedical engineer or bioengineer • Designs, develops, and helps maintain instruments and machines that are used to monitor and treat disease in health care • Bioprocess engineer • Designs and operates the equipment used to ferment organisms used in biotechnology
