Up to 80% of important medical decisions for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease rely on the results of tests performed by clinical laboratory scientists.

According to the book, Jobs Rated Almanac: The Best and Worst Jobs by Les Krantz, Medical Technology ranked 16th best in a list of 250 jobs and third best in the healthcare / medicine occupation category.

The clinical laboratory science profession continues to grow. With the advancement of new technologies and new tests, there is an expected 25% increase of laboratory positions for the foreseeable future.
