Medical laboratory professionals are dedicated health care professionals that provide accurate and timely laboratory test results to physicians to help make critical medical decisions. They are often working behind closed doors, with little interaction with the patients they serve, however their role in patient care is vital to the entire health care system.
There are approximately 1.2 million laboratory tests performed every day in Canada. Each one is done by qualified and skilled medical laboratory professionals. Laboratory tests provide a wealth of knowledge to physicians and are required for the diagnosis and treatment of the thousands of health issues that affect Canadians every day
