Laboratory Careers and Science In Biomedical Technology
Clinical Laboratory Sciences Work in lab and usually do not have contact with the client Most work is done while sitting and the lab has regular hours Need excellent vision, manual dexterity, and must know how to use the microscope
Clinical Laboratory SciencesPathologist • MD who examines specimens of body tissue, fluids, and secretions to diagnose disease • Determines the effectiveness of treatments and cause of death
Pathologist Must complete medical school and then gets specialized training Employed by hospitals, medical schools, all levels of government, and private industry Often supervises the lab in hospitals
Clinical Laboratory SciencesMedical Technologist • Also known as Clinical Laboratory Scientists • Work under the supervision of pathologist • Perform clinical laboratory testing and analyzes the results using independent judgement
Clinical laboratory Scientists Cross- matches blood and does urinalysis Calibrates the equipment and assists in determining the accuracy of and utility of new tests Usually get a bachelor’s degree and then attend an additional education program of up to 1 yr. Take a national exam to become a certified technologist (CT) which is required in some states
Clinical laboratory Scientists • Areas they can specialize in: • 1. Microbiological technologist – grows, isolates, and identifies microorganism • 2. Cytotechnologists – prepare and screen cells for diagnosis • 3. Chemistry technologists analyze body fluids and wastes • 4. Hematology – study of blood • 5 Immunology – study of resistance to pathogens
Clinical Laboratory SciencesPhlebotomist • Obtain and process blood specimens to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disease • May be educated on the job or in community college or in vocational programs
Clinical Laboratory SciencesTerminology • Microorganisms = microscopic living organism, microbe • Hematology – study of blood • Pathogens – microorganisms that produce disease
Clinical Laboratory Sciences Terminology Histology – study of body tissues. Histology technicians prepare body tissue for diagnosis, research and teaching
