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
MD who examines specimens of body tissue, fluids, and secretions to diagnose disease
Determines the effectiveness of treatments and cause of death
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
Also known as Clinical Laboratory Scientists
Work under the supervision of pathologist
Perform clinical laboratory testing
and analyzes the results using independent judgement
Cross- matches bloodand 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
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
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
Microorganisms = microscopic living organism, microbe
Hematology – study of blood
Pathogens – microorganisms that produce disease
Histology – study of body tissues.
Histology technicians prepare body tissue for diagnosis, research and teaching

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
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
Study bacteria, algae, viruses, and other microbes that cause disease or may used to prevent it
Develop vaccines and determine method of disease transmission
Usually work in a lab of a hospital or private industry such as pharmaceuticals
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
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
Work in medical labs or private industry
Need master’s or doctoral degree
Some jobs in hospitals require they pass a certification exam
