An Interview with Diana Wilkins, Takara Blamires, and Misty Smith: Recruiting the Next Generation of Clinical Laboratory Scientists
Despite what the general public seems to think, laboratory tests don’t just run themselves. They require an educated workforce of clinical laboratory scientists. Maintaining this highly skilled workforce is challenging, especially since few young people are even aware of the laboratory science career path.
