Pre-Clinical Laboratory Science (medical technology)

Clinical Laboratory Science professionals (also sometimes called Medical Laboratory Technologists or Medical Technologists) are highly skilled scientists who discover the presence or absence of disease and provide data that helps physicians determine the best treatment for the patient. Although they are not often personally involved with patients, laboratory technologists and technicians play a crucial role in the process of providing personalized care. They generate vitally important data for identifying and treating cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and many other health conditions.
