Pay[edit]

Zip recruiter shows the yearly, monthly, weekly and hourly pay nationwide for a Medical Laboratory Scientist. The highest that a Medical Laboratory Scientist gets paid 113,500$ yearly. The National average pay for a Medical Laboratory Scientist is $68,000 yearly. The lowest that a Medical Scientist gets paid is $37,500 yearly. Medical Laboratory Scientist get paid by experience, and also depending on what state the scientists live in.[1] Medical Laboratory Observer's shows the difference of pay between females and males throughout the country. It is divided into different categories, and all of the categories show how that the males get paid more than females no matter where the scientist is located. It is shown that over the years the salary has increased.[2] The American Society for Clinical Pathology shows that the wages for the occupation have increased. In 2019 the hourly wage has only increased for Cytologists and Medical Laboratory Scientists/ Techs/ and Clinical Techs after inflation. The pandemic has had an impact on the pay, staffing workload and also the work life balance of these laboratory professionals.[3]

Medical Laboratory Scientist in the Lab[edit]

Medical Laboratory Scientists/ Techs use microscope to analyze body fluid samples.

The University of Cincinnati has medical laboratory scientist as a major. The University gives more intel on Medical Lab Scientist work environments, and their what MLS do in the laboratory. The University gives specifics on how to become on the educational skills for it and much more. [4]Department of health science explain what a clinical laboratory science is and provides information about medical technology. Clinical is the same thing as medical depending on where you are or what source might say clinical or medical. It explains on how their services are needed for diagnosis, help treat infections or diseases, and also run lab test. Also talks about Molecular Diagnostic Science which is a specialized area for CLS. [5] The role of the laboratory in patient care is to provide and making sure the quality of the lab testing to support clinical decision-making. The laboratory helps detect any diseases, or any infections, without the laboratory it would be complicated to figure out what is wrong with a patient without their skills and special instruments. [6]

Lab specialties[edit]

One of the specialties that was listed is Molecular Diagnostic Science. MDS is a specialized area in the laboratory that uses techniques to identify biomarkers at the most basic level like DNA and RNA. They are used in many areas of medicine such as Genetic disorder, infectious diseases, cancer and pharmacogenetics. [7] All of the specialties that are listed have a significant amount of work in the laboratory that is needed. The specialties that are listed is Hematology, the Study of blood and its tissues. Clinical Biochemistry, measurement of chemical components. Clinical Microbiology, Detecting infectious illnesses. Immunology, analysis and diagnosis of pathologies related to immunological system. and Genetics, offers the need support for the diagnosis, forecasting and treatment of diverse pathologies that are hereditary or present a genetic basis.[8]

The role of the laboratory[edit]

Church and Naugler talk about how the program of the healthcare system does not rely on diagnostic laboratory services and they will be transitioning the model of the medical laboratory to "medical practice". The 'value' of the laboratory will no longer be primarily focused on the internal of the body. [9] The laboratory is effective and needed. Without the laboratory technicians' skills and their specialties in the lab, it would be harder to treat a patient and diagnose them. [10] Olver explains to us on the vital role of the laboratory. The role of the laboratory in patient care is to provide and making sure the quality of the lab testing to support clinical decision-making. The laboratory helps detect any diseases, or any infections, without the laboratory it would be complicated to figure out what is wrong with a patient without their skills and special instruments. [11]

Colleges who have information about medical laboratory[edit]

University of Cincinnati a college that provides information about medical laboratory and Medical Laboratory Scientist. It gives information about education that is needed, what exactly is a medical laboratory, and what they do in the medical laboratory. [12] Mayo Clinic College of medicine and science explains the scope of practice of a medical laboratory scientist, the difference between MLS and MLT, the work environment and how to become one.[13]
