Study to become a clinical laboratory technician or technologist

Clinical laboratory science professionals work primarily in a laboratory, but they are part of the network of health care professionals who work to provide quality healthcare to patients.

Clinical laboratory science majors typically become clinical laboratory technicians and technologists. Technologists have completed at least a bachelor's degree and are required to be nationally certified. Technicians usually have an associate's degree, and they are supervised by clinical laboratory technologists.

Technicians and technologists perform many of the same duties. They work in hospital and clinic laboratories performing tests on patient samples, such as blood and urine. They evaluate the tests and give the results to other medical professionals. Though technicians and technologists don't often see patients, they play a large role in patient care.

Clinical laboratory science majors usually are required to take many science courses, including biology and organic chemistry. Courses in urinalysis, microbiology, and lab techniques are also required.

Clinical laboratory technicians earned $32,120 annually in 2004, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Clinical laboratory technologists earned $46,600. Jobs for technicians are expected to experience a 19.4% growth between 2002 and 2012, while jobs for technologists are expected to grow 19.4%.
