Medical Laboratory Science

  When your health care provider is looking for answers, they may turn to laboratory tests. Highly trained medical laboratory professionals sort, analyze and run tests on your samples to provide accurate results that are vital to your health care.

Medical Laboratory Professionals complete the picture.

A lot happens between giving a sample and getting results.

Medical Laboratory Technologist Analyze tissue samples, blood and other body fluids as a part of the diagnostic procedure. MLTs provide the results of these tests to physicians, allowing them to make accurate diagnosis and if needed, guide appropriate treatment.

Disciplines in General MLT Clinical Chemistry Microbiology Hematology Transfusion Science Histology

Clinical Chemistry Determine chemistry, hormone or drug levels Common Test: Glucose test for diabetes

Microbiology Bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites Common test: Culture and sensitivity for a throat swab

Hematology Study of blood Common Test: Hemoglobin test for anemia

Transfusion Science Blood typing and compatibility testing Common test: ABO Rh and antibody screen pre-surgery

Histology Body tissue such as, kidney, breast, and liver Common Test: cancer diagnosis Histology works with body tissues directly. -Explain the role of histologist, they type of work done and equipment used. -Can explain the preparation of slides, analysis and stages of diagnosis, etc. http://www.istockphoto.com/photo/histology-procedure-embedding-20832796?st=b42711a

The General MLT Certified in all five disciplines Can be focused on one or work in all departments Explain how the general MLT is a multi-faceted role. Discuss your own role (if you are an MLT) and how you feel about knowing/performing in many areas of the lab.

Diagnostic Cytotechnologist Cytotechnologists conduct tests on cells to detect abnormalities or cancer

Cytology They are able to detect pre-cancerous cells, different cancers and other cellular based infections. An abnormal finding would be sent to a pathologist for a final diagnosis.

Clinical Genetics Technologists Genetics Technologists analyze and diagnose changes or abnormalities in chromosomes and DNA, which are unique to every individual.

Clinical Genetics A genetics technologist’s analysis of these cells can lead to a diagnosis of genetic diseases.

Medical Laboratory Assistant MLAs sort, prepare and sometimes process samples that will be tested and analyzed by a MLT.

Medical Laboratory Assistant MLAs collect samples and are often the laboratory professional that interacts directly with patients.
