Lab technician

The work of the medical laboratory technician is exciting, varied and vital to the quality of a patient's healthcare. Medical lab technicians (also referred to as medical laboratory scientists/technologists or clinical laboratory science professionals) work behind the scenes as highly skilled scientists to performs tests that detect the absence or presence of disease. Results of the tests performed by these scientists are passed on to physicians so that they can treat patients and manage disease according to the findings.

Laboratory tests ordered for the patients are based on recommendations from doctors and other healthcare providers. Lab technicians usually have no direct interaction with the patients, but rather perform tests on human bodily fluids, tissue samples and cells collected by nurses or other healthcare professionals to determine diagnoses and identify abnormalities. Technicians work with microscopes, computers and other automated laboratory equipment, keeping detailed records of the data they compile.

The duties of a medical laboratory technician can be general in nature or specialized in areas such as immunology, microbiology and clinical chemistry. Both specialized and general roles are important for the medical field as the results of their testing help physicians to accurately diagnose and treat cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other serious health conditions. These tests can also be used for the prevention and management of disease.
