So you want to be a Clinical Laboratory Technician?

A Clinical Laboratory Technician (CLT) solves medical mysteries and provides answers to critical questions for physicians and nurses concerning a patient. The CLT plays a significant role by performing tests on body fluids that influence the diagnosis and treatment of a patient thereby helping to solve a patient's medical problem. From the test results, clues to the absence, presence, extent and cause of disease may be found. Tests performed are in the general laboratory areas Hematology, Clinical Chemistry, Immunology, Coagulation, Urinalysis, Microbiology and Blood Banking.
