Clinical laboratory scientists (medical technologists) perform analytical tests on blood and body fluids.  As vital members of the health care team, they provide information necessary for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Clinical Laboratory science is a profession requiring precise and accurate evaluation techniques and keen problem-solving and judgment skills.  Blending the basic sciences and medicine, medical technologists may specialize in disciplines such as hematology, immunology, microbiology, chemistry, or blood banking.  Clinical laboratory scientists may practice in hospitals, independent commercial laboratories, clinics, physicians' offices, blood banks, public health departments, ambulatory care centers, industry, and other settings.
