Medical laboratory scientists work behind the scenes in laboratories to provide clinicians with test results needed to diagnose, treat and manage their patients’ conditions. Blood, body fluids, and other patient specimens are analyzed using manual methods and state-of-the-art instrumentation to test for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, infection, anemia, and leukemia.
