Overview
The clinical laboratory professional is qualified by

and related areas in rapidly changing and dynamic
healthcare delivery systems. CLT professionals perform,
evaluate, correlate, and assure accuracy
and validity of laboratory information; direct
clinical lab resources and operations;
and collaborate in the diagnosis and treatment of
patients. CLT professionals practice independently
and collaboratively; possess excellent oral communication
skills to engage in consultative interactions
with members of the healthcare team, customer service
and patient education; and demonstrate ethical

and reasoned judgment, and a demonstration of
commitment to the patient are essential qualities. |
