Physicians who provide the definitive diagnosis of disease using a microscope, special stains, immunohistochemistry and other techniques.
A physician who provides the definitive diagnosis of disease and specializes in blood banking, chemistry, hematology, immunology, microbiology and molecular biology. Provides advanced medical consultation with clinicians and interdisciplinary teams, laboratory oversight, regulatory compliance and medical education as well as performs new test development, research and ensures quality in all testing.
Laboratory professionals examine and analyze body fluids and cells. They may also prepare specimens for examination, test specimens, and analyze results. Laboratory professionals include:
Conduct a full range of routine and complex laboratory tests in blood banking, chemistry, hematology, immunology, microbiology molecular biology and/or urinalysis to provide information necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Provide advanced diagnostic services and physician support by integrating morphologic interpretations with companion technologies.
Prepare and perform routine and complex histologic techniques (i.e., enzyme histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence) on tissue samples for microscopic examination by a pathologist to diagnose disease.
Prepare and process tissue samples for microscopic examination by a pathologist.
Provide anatomic pathology services under the direction and supervision of a pathologist to perform gross examination and dissection of surgical pathology specimens and performance of postmortem examinations.
Collect and process specimens to perform routine tests in blood banking, chemistry, hematology, immunology, microbiology and/or urinalysis.
Work face-to-face with patients to draw blood samples and process samples for analysis.
