    Malcolm, if you have a minute, I am interested in any observations you have regarding the National Whole Blood Summit 2019 thread.

    Thanks, Scott

      Thanks Malcolm.  You may want to post your thoughts on that thread.  I would be interested on how Dr. Blumberg and others would respond.

    What is the job title of the holder of the Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Sciences In the United States, the European Union, Canada and Australia ?

      In the US, I believe there is a difference between the title of the degree and the title of the position.  Different colleges and universities have different designations for the degrees they bestow.

      To complicate things, the board-certified designations have changed and merged over the last ten years depending on which agency is doing the certification.  So there are some older techs that were certified over the years as MTs, MLTs, CLSs. CLTs, etc.

      The current US job titles (ASCP) are: Medical Laboratory Scientist (B.S.) and Medical Laboratory Technician (A.A.S.).

    Hi Cliff!

    I've been using PathLabTalk now for several years and love what it has to offer.  I'm so grateful lab scientists have a place to go to "network" with others - thank you for that!

    My name is Kristen and I am the hematology/coagulation supervisor at a northwest Michigan hospital.  Recently, I have written a blog that is on the subject matter of lab scientists connecting to the patients they serve from "behind the scenes".  I have provided the link on several forums within PathLabTalk - but thought I'd reach out to you personally and see if you were interested in reading it.  Here is the link:

     
    I would really appreciate any feedback you have to offer!  If you find this article resonates with you as a lab professional, please feel free to share it with others.  I feel very passionate about getting our career "out there" and making it "visible" to the public.  It is evident at this point, that it is our responsibility to educate on that topic.  Nobody else is going to do it for us.  We are a quiet, humble group and we've been silent for all too long - time to start tooting our own horns a bit! ;)
     
    Thank you for your time,

      Nice thoughts on a more personal take on our profession!  That's not something you see for Medical lab Techs, musch less any profess=ion.  (Not to sure about emphasizing negative assumptions as bullet points though!)  I think the last paragraph is very important.

      Thanks, Scott
