Clinical laboratory scientists (CLS) are trained and qualified to work in medical or industrial/pharmaceutical laboratories. A clinical laboratory scientist is at the heart of clinical care, performing diagnostic tests which monitor treatments and uncover new disease states. They continuously communicate with physicians to provide improved patient care and treatment outcomes.
