I’m retired after 42 years as a clinical laboratory scientist, in a small hospital lab in an isolated area of California. It was a very rewarding career.
I graduate in a year with a bachelors in MLS and i just want to say one thing. To all the people who say MLSs get paid a lot less than RNs this is untrue. They might get paid slightly less (and Im talking like 5k a year less) but you can make a very good living. Where I live (idaho) you make like 60k a year but in some places like California you can make like 80k and up. Another thing I want to mention is the job placement is very high and in demand. You can also further your degree with a masters or phD, which tends to open up more leadership roles and higher pay.
TheFreealexis , Thanks for sharing that. I am in my freshman year at college and I am thinking to major MLS. Even though MLS and RN are slightly different in terms of salary, do you think MLS is more complicated than RN during college years? Thanks
+xRiss13 I imagine he/she attends Idaho State University since it gives students the best option when it comes to medical sciences, from what I know. (I'm also from Idaho by the way)
I work in Micro at a hospital and I do enjoy my job ALOT...I do think it is underappreciated. Most of the decisions made by doctors and nurses wouldn't be possible without our input.
Very nice video, thank you! Im in MLT school right now, and everyone is always asking what my job is. No one seems to know that the lab people exist and that we are a very vital part of their medical team. This is a great video to show people who we are!
I wish more people did! Geez I've been looking for THIS JOB specifically ever since I was a teenager. I wanted to be the girl who ran the tests and diagnosed. At first I thought doctors did that. Then I thought nurses did that. Nope and nope! That job falls to the medical laboratory techs and scientists
+shortie1982a Good luck! Im going to start the bachelors in a few months. Is it ..well was it hard? or challenging but doable? It's intimidating me right now because I had to choose this to do as my first choice I cannot do. Was it easier for you because maybe you like chemistry and bio and whatnot, those are not my strong subs and they intimidate me a lot. I'd appreciate a sort of detailed answer if you choose to reply to this comment because I think it might be interesting but im not sure if it is enough to keep me up...and the comments and videos on youtube that say ''if you like it you'll be fine'' doesn't really help. The most I am is interested..any tips?
Proudly medical laboratory scientist practicing in Nigeria. Glad to be part of this wonderful family.....the brain behind modern Evidence - Based Medicine. Nice post!
Among other things, it exposes to an in depth knowledge of human physiology and pathophysiology so that the root cause of diseases can be traced easily and thereby playing a major role in the treatment and management of diseases through diagnosis.
Akinnuroju Oluwagbenga Noah Isn't Biology a more important subject in this area? I wish to be a medical laboratory scientist/ Technician after I graduate from High School. I'm currently a Biology student.
I was so torn between nursing, which would give me time for a family, and being a doctor, which would be more busy but I'd be more involved with diagnostics. This seems like a pretty happy middle, especially since I prefer not to be around a lot of patients if I don't have to be. So glad I discovered MLS
Yeah the Major League Soccer is pretty cool. But I would suggest also the premier league or La Liga. They can sometimes be more up pace and more competitive than the MLS.
I believe in CA it's floating around the $60K mark (don't quote me) for average pay. I think starting is around $40K-$45K, but gets up there. I've met some MLSs that have been doing it for many years and are up around $85K-$95K.
Hello! I am an instructor for a Medical Laboratory Assisting Program for high school students. This video will be a part of my first week orientation. Too few students pursue a career in Med Lab, hopefully this will generate a lot of interest. Nicely Done!
I can endorse a medical laboratory career over any other allied health career - including nursing. The science and information technology applied in the modern medical laboratory is stunningly good.
I have a really importanting question need to answered... What the defreant between medical laboratory sciences and biomedical science I mean they both work in laps and do things that the other one can do So can you please explain that to me in Easy way?
In high school and not exactly sure what to pursue in the future but working in a lab/biomed research has been on my mind lately. Loved this video, gave me a short but powerful insight on lab science, hope I might get to do something like this one day 🙌
*No lab people = no healthcare* More people should be aware of the great day-to-day jobs people are doing behind the screens, while only the physicians walk away with the credit...

Ahh! This makes me more excited to know further about my course. I'm still a freshmen though, I must wait! (And omg, the lab looks so great T_T I hope my school would have that big lab before I enter the 'deadliest' year which is the junior year. God bless to us who took Medtech!^^)
Its a very interesting field trust me. I enjoy doing this type of work but there are some things that are not mentioned in majority of youtube videos. Many job openings are at night and they usually pay more so you may end up taking it and suffer for it if you are not used to the overnight shift. Also sheer volume of samples. If you work in a diagnostic lab that's what are you going to face on daily basis.
Too bad I live out of state! I am looking at purchasing a Cannon T3i and possibly an additional macro lens (not sure if I need it) to film bacterial colonies and RBC agglutinates. I thought this would be a good option since it can do both video and high quality still photographs.
Es Impresionante la capacidad de equipos automatizados que tienen, aunque en México muchos laboratorios también lo tienen hay otros en los que se trabaja manualmente todavía, es importante para los alumnos que sepan trabajar de ambas formas ya que no siempre se puede tener un laboratorio equipado.
Hello, I really liked your video, I'm Hispanic, and I have a question: a medical laboratory scientist is the same as : a degree in Microbiology , because in Latin America, the university career is called: degree in microbiology. (In Spanish Licenciado en Microbiología) and not: medical laboratory scientist, thanks for answering, excuse me if I have misspellings. =D I am learning
Great video, I'm studying to become a Medical laboratory scientist in Sweden. Don't know how it is in other countries but in Sweden our profession need a lot more attention then it get today cos' a lot of people don't know what a MLS is or what we do. That's sad since we're as important as nurses and doctors etc. for the patients.
Very nice lab. That machine do really make a perfect blood smear. Woahhh...interesting. I just passed my national Board Exam as an MLS a few days ago. I really love to work in a large lab setting, so I can see strange things and learn more from it. But, I still really appreciate the ones that have given me a chance and supported me for my very first steps.
Sorry for a delayed response. I don't know if you still need this, but I would give some advice to you anyways. Study for your board exam as soon as possible. Buy books made for board exam and practice answering them. The more you practice the more confident you are. Confidence is everything. It helps you stay calm during test and make it easier for you to pass. After 10 years in the field, I like it. It is a very demanding career. You would never be worried about losing your job. It's always in the need of hiring. Also, the pay is decent enough to make a living. However, I love the IT part of the job more. I love working with computers since I was young, but I was clueless when I chose a career and was pressured by my family to get into healthcare industry. Well, it turned out that it was not a bad choice. But, it would be awesome if I can work in IT department, an IT career in healthcare, not just a regular "IT guy" as people would think of.
This is a fantastic video and I would like to use it on our website for our clincial lab science program information page. It explains the profession in a very simple interesting format. Who do I need to contact to get permission.
Is it possible for a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Biology / BS Biology to be a medical technologist? I'm currently pursuing BS Biology, and I badly want to engage myself in medical technology, aside from life sciences.
Krizia Dela Roca Espiritu a lot of people in my program already have a degree in biology but it wasn’t enough for them to find a job or a job they wanted so they ended up doing this program now. Now a days it’s better to do something more specific and that gives you a certification on top of your degree.
what about medical laboratory technician, and medical laboratory scientist, i am studying maedical lab tech tigh now and i was wondering if when the section finishes, would i have to start all over and get a bachelors in science then a masters, or will my associates from technician, able to count as the 2 years of my bachelors, so i can get my bachelors degree, also how would one become a Scientist after becoming a technician.
No you don't have to start over. Two options; you can either obtain a 2 yr degree for MLT , then later go back to school for 2 more years and get your MLS. Or, just go straight into a 4-year bachelor's degree for MLS. This is how it works in the US. Med Lab Scientists/aka MTs here get paid more, but MLT is still a good place to start if you want to take baby steps.
Im a senior students and am interested in taking this course for college but im scared. Chemistry is a weakness for me and im scared i wont be able to pass this course
Wow, I love all these comments. I am so lost right now. I was on the path to nursing, but my circumstances for this route is very grim as my grades are not competitive enough.. My bf sent me a link that refers to this job, and I found this video. I loved microbiology when I took it, and this video has increased my interest for it.. With all these positive comments I am also curious of the downsides, but so far this has me pulled in already!
great job- nice videography and editing. Re: the hair- understand that this is a promo for the profession, not a true to life representation. We're in need of new recruits for the profession and promo's like these will help!
I am an MLS student and several of the people in my classes were previous nurses and they tell me how they disliked their job and discovered MLS. I have nothing against nurses or anything; this is just an interesting observation.
TheFreealexis a huge majority of students in my program have previous bachelors too and weren’t happy or couldn’t find anything or needed a certificate/liscence. Haven’t met any previous nursing majors yet but I know they are there. Most of the ones I’ve met have a degree in biology or something similar.
I am a clinical medical technician. I have a secondary education and work experience in specialty 15 years. Do you have free vacancies? I'm from Ukraine. Thanks.
Hello Nick, I like your video, i'm "Bioanalista" from Venezuela, and I would like to study Microbiology, do you recommend me any University? I would like to work as a Medical Technologist.. :) saludos desde Venezuela!
+yengaby You should go to a university that's just accredited or recognized. I'm from Trinidad and there are many Venezuelans and other nationalities that study in the Universities they have here, I only mentioned Trinidad because it seemed like a place that a lot of people go to study from abroad
It's strange, it could be related to CPU/GPU issues (although I am on an Ivy Bridge i5), but it only seemed out of sync for her bit. The rest of the video was great!
nerdweirdo me nope. here in the philippines, our curriculum is Medical Technology/ Medical Laboratory Technology which is synonymous with Medical Laboratory Science
Could anyone please tell me whether these paper combinations are good: Clinical chemistry & Molecular diagnostics OR Haematology & Molecular diagnostics? I'm a third year student and I'm about to choose my specializations :D
Guys are there any free ebooks to download from the internet about medical laboratory science?Et cetera books that cover all sections of theoretical and practical approaches in the various sections of MLS like microblology,imunology,hematology and so on..???
praise selah Dagoc wow what a prety face you are. Didnt know to look at your profile picture or actually read what you wrote down:) would you be kind to share with me the name of the fb page ?
"The mean annual salary earned by medical and clinical laboratory technologists was $60,560 as of May 2014, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics"
What I’m interested about this course is you’ll have to study bacteriology,viruses,blood smearing and all other major subjects related.Not that I’m smart or anything but to learn new things is thrilling ya know? And what I think I should master is the Venipuncture,cause when I was a Grade 12 students last year for our work immersion class, I can tell you this, My first try was NOT successful,it was nerve-wracking yes,my hands were shaking and thought I would never hit the cephalic vein(or basilic vein). Second try was a little bit successful with the help of a professor.BUUUUT,don’t be discouraged and keep on trying That’s what I have in mind right now as I have graduated high school and currently a Medtech student in a university.Please don’t lower your self-esteem,keep in mind that you’ll also work inside a lab like these wonderful adults.Know that your interest for this job and the passion to have this job will keep us going. This might only be my point of view and y’all might think “Easy for you to say”... Trust God and He will help you through bad times and good times have faith in yourself and don’t ever give up on your dream 😊❤️
hi there, i have a question for you. i will finish my MLT as diploma next year and now i'm looking for scholarship to continue my study become degree. What university will support me ?
too bad the pay isn't real great. Its chaps my a$$ that nurses have higher salaries. Its B.S. Lab Techs play huge roles in the diagnoses and treatment of patients, but that is lost on most people.
This job is absolutely important, but you don't think nurses who get puked, pooped, sneezed, and bled on, yelled at by patients, their families and tired doctors who you called at 3 in the morning to put a crucial order, have to see patients they have taken care of for days die in front of them despite all efforts, go a 12 hour shift without sitting down to eat because you literally do not have time, and yet still smile and do the job don't deserve a higher salary? Funny. Enjoy your chair all day :) P.S. yeah that was one long long sentence, I know. haha
Jarrod Kissling Smile? No, i'm quite sure that by the time they see me they've been worn down. Every nurse i've met has come across as arrogant and condescending. Sure the job wears them down, but they often treat patients like shit.
***** You seriously dont have to know much to be a nurse. The Laboratory Science course is miles more difficult and complex than the Nursing course. But they do have to do a lot of important and grueling work. Thinking they know more than a tech/scientist is laughable, but they definitely deserve recognition and a good pay imo.
I’m retired after 42 years as a clinical laboratory scientist, in a small hospital lab in an isolated area of California. It was a very rewarding career.

That depends on how you define difficult in this context. Nothing good comes easy, but all that will be involved worth it.
Its not a basic requirement, though largely subject to the institution's preferences.

hello colleague
Under-appreciated and Unknown in the Hospital. The true unsung Heroes:
I was so torn between nursing, which would give me time for a family, and being a doctor, which would be more busy but I'd be more involved with diagnostics. This seems like a pretty happy middle, especially since I prefer not to be around a lot of patients if I don't have to be. So glad I discovered MLS

god that's exactly my thoughts...glad I've met this same opinion lol...i like to work in a lab than with patients...
Super.
Low pay
@C Siletz Benton have you taken your medication?
Yeah the Major League Soccer is pretty cool. But I would suggest also the premier league or La Liga. They can sometimes be more up pace and more competitive than the MLS.
The shadow behind doctors
Being a Medical Laboratory Scientist is interesting, exciting, and indeed most satisfying, YES.
I’m majoring in med lab sciences and this was a great reminder as to why I’m pursuing what I’m pursuing! 🥺
I got accepted to both the Nursing program and the Clinical Laboratory Science program at UNC-Chapel Hill. I am so torn between the two!!
Choose Nursing 🤝.
just watching because i love my career very much

With all these positive comments I am also curious of the downsides, but so far this has me pulled in already!
Im 13 currently and i love science,i also want to help people as well. I found out about medical scientist and want to do this as a career :D
great job- nice videography and editing. Re: the hair- understand that this is a promo for the profession, not a true to life representation. We're in need of new recruits for the profession and promo's like these will help!
This makes the core lab look so peaceful LOL
What's even better is that they have an apprenticeship for it
just wondering, why didnt they tie their hair?
Why should they?
Vanessa P its a rule
I was wondering that too. I’m thinking it was just for this video maybe. I always put my hair up and be in full PPE.
I am an MLS student and several of the people in my classes were previous nurses and they tell me how they disliked their job and discovered MLS. I have nothing against nurses or anything; this is just an interesting observation.
+TheFreealexis This really was an interesting comment lol
TheFreealexis a huge majority of students in my program have previous bachelors too and weren’t happy or couldn’t find anything or needed a certificate/liscence. Haven’t met any previous nursing majors yet but I know they are there. Most of the ones I’ve met have a degree in biology or something similar.
I am a clinical medical technician. I have a secondary education and work experience in specialty 15 years. Do you have free vacancies? I'm from Ukraine. Thanks.
This is now my dream! I one day hope to become a Researcher
LOVE THIS VIDEO LOVE YOU AND I LOVE THAT YOU LOVE MY DAUGHTER! YOU WORK PERFECT TOGETHER, CONGRATS ON WINNING!
Hello Nick, I like your video, i'm "Bioanalista" from Venezuela, and I would like to study Microbiology, do you recommend me any University? I would like to work as a Medical Technologist.. :) saludos desde Venezuela!
+yengaby You should go to a university that's just accredited or recognized. I'm from Trinidad and there are many Venezuelans and other nationalities that study in the Universities they have here, I only mentioned Trinidad because it seemed like a place that a lot of people go to study from abroad
It's strange, it could be related to CPU/GPU issues (although I am on an Ivy Bridge i5), but it only seemed out of sync for her bit. The rest of the video was great!
does medical laboratory scientist is different from medical laboratory technologist?
yes.
No
nerdweirdo me nope. here in the philippines, our curriculum is Medical Technology/ Medical Laboratory Technology which is synonymous with Medical Laboratory Science
I am looking to film some laboratory videos. What type of camera did you use?
Could anyone please tell me whether these paper combinations are good: Clinical chemistry & Molecular diagnostics OR Haematology & Molecular diagnostics? I'm a third year student and I'm about to choose my specializations :D
Think you so much for this video, it's my job in morroco
HOW cringy this video is a side IT ACUTALLY motiviates me on my exams 3rd year now on the MLT program wish me luck ^^
Have you finished?
Guys are there any free ebooks to download from the internet about medical laboratory science?Et cetera books that cover all sections of theoretical and practical approaches in the various sections of MLS like microblology,imunology,hematology and so on..???
A lot, actually. If you look hard enough. ;) In fact, I know of several pages in facebook dedicated just for that. :)
praise selah Dagoc
wow what a prety face you are. Didnt know to look at your profile picture or actually read what you wrote down:) would you be kind to share with me the name of the fb page ?
do you found them
please share it with me
i would be thankfull
What kind of pay comes with this job?
Discover your passion, not how much money it's going to make you.
"The mean annual salary earned by medical and clinical laboratory technologists was $60,560 as of May 2014, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics"
+Karen Nieto Far too idealistic.
Florida you can start at 23 an hour. Other states go higher than that.
What I’m interested about this course is you’ll have to study bacteriology,viruses,blood smearing and all other major subjects related.Not that I’m smart or anything but to learn new things is thrilling ya know?
And what I think I should master is the Venipuncture,cause when I was a Grade 12 students last year for our work immersion class, I can tell you this, My first try was NOT successful,it was nerve-wracking yes,my hands were shaking and thought I would never hit the cephalic vein(or basilic vein). Second try was a little bit successful with the help of a professor.BUUUUT,don’t be discouraged and keep on trying
That’s what I have in mind right now as I have graduated high school and currently a Medtech student in a university.Please don’t lower your self-esteem,keep in mind that you’ll also work inside a lab like these wonderful adults.Know that your interest for this job and the passion to have this job will keep us going.
This might only be my point of view and y’all might think “Easy for you to say”...
Trust God and He will help you through bad times and good times have faith in yourself and don’t ever give up on your dream 😊❤️
I have completed bscmlt.can u please give me a suggestion for next step..
plz tell what the salary range after BMLT
hi there, i have a question for you. i will finish my MLT as diploma next year and now i'm looking for scholarship to continue my study become degree. What university will support me ?
Excellent job! Nice to see BGSU making its rounds :) . Did you have a VCT major do the video?
which country it is?
Am the only one here before thinking about taking admission in Diploma in medical lab technology.
That's my dream...love it ♥️ MICROBIOLOGY
Any bsc mlt jobs in abroad.plz give me information
too bad the pay isn't real great. Its chaps my a$$ that nurses have higher salaries. Its B.S. Lab Techs play huge roles in the diagnoses and treatment of patients, but that is lost on most people.
This job is absolutely important, but you don't think nurses who get puked, pooped, sneezed, and bled on, yelled at by patients, their families and tired doctors who you called at 3 in the morning to put a crucial order, have to see patients they have taken care of for days die in front of them despite all efforts, go a 12 hour shift without sitting down to eat because you literally do not have time, and yet still smile and do the job don't deserve a higher salary? Funny. Enjoy your chair all day :)
P.S. yeah that was one long long sentence, I know. haha
Jarrod Kissling Smile? No, i'm quite sure that by the time they see me they've been worn down. Every nurse i've met has come across as arrogant and condescending. Sure the job wears them down, but they often treat patients like shit.
+Jibby Gibb that has rarely been my experience at the hospitals I've visited. I think you just do not have a very good work place
***** You seriously dont have to know much to be a nurse. The Laboratory Science course is miles more difficult and complex than the Nursing course. But they do have to do a lot of important and grueling work. Thinking they know more than a tech/scientist is laughable, but they definitely deserve recognition and a good pay imo.
proud to be medical laboratory technologist... 😊
Proud of what we do, but sad about how we get treated by administrators these days.
