Medical Laboratory Professionals Week - April 23-29, 2017
Lab Week is our chance to let people know about our lab staff’s dedication and commitment to professional, quality patient care.
Since lab professionals often work behind the scenes, few people know that the critical testing they perform every day saves lives, reduces morbidity, and helps control the cost of care. Today, with advances in analytical science and automation–and as cost pressures reduce patient stays in the hospital–the work in the laboratory is more important than ever.
300,000+ medical laboratory professionals perform and interpret more than 10 billion laboratory tests in the United States every year. There are ten dedicated clinical lab scientists and phlebotomists in the UHS lab supporting our students, clinicians, and researchers across campus.
