Clinical laboratory testing plays a crucial role in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Clinical laboratory technologists, also referred to as clinical laboratory scientists or medical technologists, and clinical laboratory technicians, also known as medical technicians or medical laboratory technicians, perform most of these tests.1

The medical technologist performs a broad range of chemical, microscopic and bacteriological procedures to assist the physician in identifying and treating diseases and to determine abnormal conditions including the presence of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Medical technologists also type and cross match blood samples for transfusions.
