Clinical laboratory scientists are vital health care detectives who perform laboratory analyses to assist physicians in patient diagnosis and treatment, disease monitoring or health maintenance. Many of these scientists work in clinic laboratories, while others go into medical administration, cytology, education, medical sales, medical research, forensics and related fields.
