I just realized recently that this was filmed at my workplace.. MY workplace... Beautiful video created by our students!!
Where is it?
Amazing!
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
thank you for sharing! I'm looking into getting a post-bacchelaurete certificate in MLS and your info helped
Did you attend school in Idaho, if so what school? I live in Idaho as well and would like to pursue this career
+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’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 hop i can get a job in usa and live there,,,i'm a lab tec and i love my job🥲
I’m training to be a CLS right now!
@@sweetlizzy8831 you will love it!
@@pennykehus2309 I’m going into my first year of college in a week and choose this career 😃
Im thinking of going into the career science is beautiful
Under-appreciated and Unknown in the Hospital. The true unsung Heroes:
I’m majoring in med lab sciences and this was a great reminder as to why I’m pursuing what I’m pursuing! 🥺
I found so much beauty in this video!!!!!!
I can't wait to finish my degree!!!!
Izzy Gabriela M I am new in this program am now going Level 100 need a friend to help me in some advice 🤗
Did you finish?
@@unknowndreamz3843 graduating in spring 2021 baby!!!! but no with the MLS degree LOL!
Me too ..I am also a BMLT student❤️👍🙏
Also have Bmlt deegri
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've never been more proud of my profession! Thanks for this video!
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!^^)
Nicole Maralit hello I would be very happy if I can be your friend am a fresher need more advice in this program 🤗
This career totally fits my personality 😫
I Am a Medical Laboratory Scientist too ^_^
any advice for those in college for it now? :)
Amie Burnell study hard and take pride in knowing it is a wonderful career choice :)
do they pay well??how is it?

I need ur contact number
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?
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.
I am a Medical Laboratory Scientist too
I like my job,and i am a medical technologist too
Gary Wu does it pay well???

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.
Good evening dear sister.
Please,can I also learn more from you I'm a fresher student reading Bachelor of Medical laboratory Scientist.
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.
What' the difference between pathologist and mls????
Can you be a medical scientist with a biochemistry degree or do I need to major in biology?
Do an internship or something and maybe the practical experience would help you to register as one in your country
That's my dream...love it ♥️ MICROBIOLOGY
In Brazil, it's called Biomédico.
Nice job, but I didn't see Histology/Pathology. :(
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 hope my laboratory this advance and hi tech😅. I know this is an old video but laboratory in my campus not even close to this one.
Excellent job! Nice to see BGSU making its rounds :) . Did you have a VCT major do the video?
need more video like this
Is this video available on igtv for me to share? I am a MLS would love to show people what a medical lab scientist is and does
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!
I am looking to film some laboratory videos. What type of camera did you use?
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.
I AM MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST
Am the only one here before thinking about taking admission in Diploma in medical lab technology.
Are them graduated from faculty of science؟
I am a prospective student and this confirms my future desires
Thank you, mom. :) We did do a great job together!!
Wow. I love this career
is this a good major to study in the University because I'm confused between medical laboratory scientist and chemistry?
Really depends on what your goals are. They are two different fields all together. Chemistry as a lab tech is pretty much plug and play. Still fun to learn about it, but in actual application, the machines do the work. However, as a lab tech you can do chemistry, micro, blood bank, immunology, molecular, etc.
May I know how you deal with highly contagious samples? Is this something I need to worry about if my son is going to be one?
When I was dealing with learning about different infections that were grown on plates for microbiology we asked my professor about this. She said as long as we don’t like the plates or put it in our mouths we will be okay. But gloves should always be worn.
Even if I could afford to quit my current job and do schooling to become a medical clinical scientist or technologist, I’m terribly stupid with almost all subjects but extra stupid with science and math classes.
It’s not so much that I want to be a laboratory scientist or technologist, it’s more for the job prospects abs security without being a doctor or nurse . And I’m terrible with math so forget about becoming a good businessman (or woman in my case).
we proud as a MLS,,
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
I wanted to do this type of career ever since I've been introduced to microscopy and labs in middle school lol, and now I am a bio major with a concentration of medical technology in college! Exciting is not even the word to express how I feel about it!
topaz171 I want to feel the same as you some day 😄
topaz171 how is it now
Hey I am a Medical Technologist :)
And proud 💓
are medical laboratory scientists pathologist ?
nice video, unfortunately, this profession is not recognized by others consider the doctors need the results to make diagnosis They think we just push buttons.
Im in nursing, Im ready to switch
Get ready for a pay cut and a loss of professional standing. Labs contribute more to the healthcare of patients than any other single discipline, and yet labs these days are always being forced to "do more with less", and to work as lean as possible.
This video shows the best side of lab work. But in reality, many administrators cut costs by cutting staff to the bone and expecting techs to work in assembly-line conditions.
It's not the best of times for labs ...
@@vanessajazp6341 are you a MLS? if so, if you could go back in time would you go the nursing route instead.
How long take to study this profession.?
Julissa Matthews my school offers it as a two year program for the bachelors (not including the prerequisites)
labortant go to work if you want a good communication will improve in the medium level for myself here in my professional foreign language level
Is this respectful job?
love it So much and Love My Job after 2 years ()
It's cool stuff, but you get paid much less than nurses or any other professional in the building makes (in most states). Sometimes half of what a nurse makes. Just make sure you live in a two income family before deciding on this career. Canada pays well, though.
This is awesome! i love my work too
I'm such a cranky old curmudgeon. I got annoyed and distracted by all that dangling long hair. I'm sure the participants just wanted to look pretty in the video, but as a Lab Tech of many years, it just looks dangerous and unprofessional. I was so distracted by that, it was hard to pay attention to the message they're trying to send. (also, I'm starting to hate the sound of "sensitive" piano music).
Joy Lederman I understand this. I’m always in full PPE even when it’s not needed and always have my hair up. I noticed this too and it kinda triggered me. I’m thinking it’s mainly just for the video purposes.
I want to become a medical scientist but finding the cure for : Leukemia, Lymphoma,Cancer, Aging, Heart Disease,DiabetesType I Diabetes, Type II Diabetes
Kidney Disease and Fibrosis ,all the time and resource to cure these disease should be more focused on what we actually eat and what is present in our everyday lives. I feel the research is kinda pointless when all of these are caused by modern society. The irony hurts, America is the most prosperous country in the world and yet it is the most obese and unhealthy country in the world. All these junk foods corporation produce and chemicals the causes cancer. america is just one big facepalm , I mean look at Japan the second richest country in the world and yet it is one of longest living and healthiest people in the world. humans are just so arrogant that we can cheat death and prolong our futile and meaningless lives just so we can live a liltte itty bitty longer
You should become a Biomedical Researcher then... :)
Hello name of the State of North Africa, Morocco I want to be issued to you as Golden oil from the worlds of nature and a rare oil Antdr reply to a message, please

Hi I'
It's not like our lab at all !! :/
And all the young new grads leave to make more money
please search medicine for painless slaughting of animals
Iam make santists
This might be very, very important work but the money sucks! According to my observation & resch. Big name; important work but under supported. And the requirements are so many. You need two degrees to qualify for Lab work; one in the Biologicals the other in a CLS program that is if you qualify via a high GPA. Plus you must pass the exams to be certified which cost a crown & a pound. Such a high criteria placed for cheap labor. It is such bullshite. If you aren't planning on Medical School; possessing a Biology Degree is a complete waste of time & money. Study something else. You are better off doing a Nursing program.
Lol don't listen to this guy. MLS is extremely rewarding and the criteria for studying this is hard for a reason. The decisions you make every day are vital to the care of the patients.
patisserie1 this is true the pay is sucks, nurse gets pay more
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.
What do you do? I just graduated with my BS in Micro and am wondering about lab vs Med School.
Am graduating with BSC biomedical science, I feel so happy to be joining post-graduate diploma in medical lab next year😬
It's such a cool job thanks for your contribution!
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
suki3275 Its an awesome job! I just finished school and it only took about 3 weeks to get a job. I love it and i start in 1/18/16!
+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?
shortie1982a which level are you in please ?🤗
It was either this or nursing, and I'm TERRIBLE with people. With covid, it seems like I made the right call honestly.
Being a Medical Laboratory Scientist is interesting, exciting, and indeed most satisfying, YES.
just watching because i love my career very much
*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...
Yes you are really right
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
suki3275
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.
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 🤝.
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.
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.
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.
hello colleague
Did anyone deal with bad anxiety during rotations? Will it get better?
The video was so peaceful that I almost flew into it. 😂
The shadow behind doctors
i want to be this when i grow up im berly 9 years old lol
Aww, you're sooo sweet!!
Mayi214 Olvera it's a wonderful career, I just started my career and I love it
Alyson Bye I think I wanna take after my amazing sister now
I'm thinking of applying for biomedical science but I'm scared I'll fail the lab practicals...how hard is it?
Im graduated Biomedical bachelor in The Netherlands. Its an interesting study, thats for sure. If you are an organised person it will help, because your experiments always have steps were you should wait. So you need to plan your experiments very well to save time. Also because you should label your staff correctly. If you mix things up you get wrong results.
An other advantage is being handy with your hands. A certain accuracy is usually needed. For example shaking hands are not so handy if you work with small amounts. But as you advance, also your brains are getting more important, especially if you intend to do a phd. Some scientists are not even working in the lab personally. They just analyse the results, make presentations and read/write articles, which are also important skills.
Before you start your day (if you work in the lab), you always prepare some solutions. You will get used to those standard calculations very soon. You dont have to worry about that. Moreover, the results of your experiments could sometimes be complex, confusing or disappointing, but thats what drives you to go further, right.
"bioterrorism agents identified before they reach your family" might be a TAD overdramatic
Hi! from Thailand medical laboratory scientist. :)
Im in the process and i still dont even know what im really going to be doing
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?
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.
1st yr MLS student here❤️ its fun
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 🙌
a soon to be a medical laboratory scientist student
How is it working out for you 6 years later?
@@wiam5117 sir please tell me full process to be medical labrotary scientist. Iam a medical Labrotary technologist student now.
Proud to be one in the Philippines!
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!
That smearer thoooo 😍
LOVE THIS VIDEO LOVE YOU AND I LOVE THAT YOU LOVE MY DAUGHTER! YOU WORK PERFECT TOGETHER, CONGRATS ON WINNING!
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.
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
Think you so much for this video, it's my job in morroco
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
I
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.
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
I a medical technician in clinical pathology this video inspires me to stretch a bit
feather more lab tech wise.
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’m actually studying microbiology and clinical chemistry and I’m really in love with it ❤️
So what's the average pay for a medical lab tech and a lab scientist?
Im very confused, i am betwween genetics and medical science and im not sure which to choose!
Are they technologist or scientist?
Technologist and scientist are same?
0:09 now that's convenient, at the lab i worked at we had to make the slides manually.
Hi my name is Rahammdin Ahmadzai from Afghanistan I am medical laboratories technician I has 10 years experience in laboratory I want to go to Canada Australia USA for job can you help me
