Medical laboratory scientists work behind the scenes in laboratories to provide clinicians with test results needed to diagnose, treat, and manage their patients’ conditions. Blood, body fluids, and other patient specimens are analyzed using manual methods and state-of-the-art instrumentation to test for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, infection, anemia, and leukemia.
Medical laboratories produce data that physicians and caregivers depend on to properly diagnose and treat patients. In fact, 70% of medical decisions are based on laboratory testing conducted by medical laboratory scientists. Thomas Jefferson University is an academic health center, and offers a collaborative environment that includes basic science research, cancer treatment, biomedical research, primary care, nursing care, and trauma care.
