2
Work in lab and usually do not have contact with the client Most work is done while sitting and the lab has regular hours Need excellent vision, manual dexterity, and must know how to use the microscope
3
MD who examines specimens of body tissue, fluids, and secretions to diagnose disease Determines the effectiveness of treatments and cause of death
4
Must complete medical school and then gets specialized training Employed by hospitals, medical schools, all levels of government, and private industry Often supervises the lab in hospitals
5
Also known as Clinical Laboratory Scientists Work under the supervision of pathologist Perform clinical laboratory testing and analyzes the results using independent judgement
6
Cross- matches blood and does urinalysis Calibrates the equipment and assists in determining the accuracy of and utility of new tests Usually get a bachelor’s degree and then attend an additional education program of up to 1 yr. Take a national exam to become a certified technologist (CT) which is required in some states
7
Areas they can specialize in: 1. Microbiological technologist – grows, isolates, and identifies microorganism 2. Cytotechnologists – prepare and screen cells for diagnosis 3. Chemistry technologists analyze body fluids and wastes 4. Hematology – study of blood 5 Immunology – study of resistance to pathogens
8
Obtain and process blood specimens to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disease May be educated on the job or in community college or in vocational programs
9
Microorganisms = microscopic living organism, microbe Hematology – study of blood Pathogens – microorganisms that produce disease
10
Histology – study of body tissues. Histology technicians prepare body tissue for diagnosis, research and teaching

17
Life scientists study living organisms and life processes including growth and reproduction Educational requirements for research are a Master’s Degree or doctoral- level preparations
18
This field has many opportunities in development in health care Research is done in biology, anatomy, biochemistry, genetics, physics, physiology and microbiology ¼ work for government and another 1/3 work for private industry
19
Study bacteria, algae, viruses, and other microbes that cause disease or may used to prevent it Develop vaccines and determine method of disease transmission
20
Usually work in a lab of a hospital or private industry such as pharmaceuticals
21
Research the method by which viruses infect cells and cause disease Recently have helped to develop viruses that are used to transport and manipulate genetic material
22
Study the chemical nature of living things Cells – study reproduction, growth and metabolism Research effect of hormones, enzymes, serums, and food on the tissues and organ of animals
23
Work in medical labs or private industry Need master’s or doctoral degree Some jobs in hospitals require they pass a certification exam
