Medical lab scientists play a crucial but often unseen role in healthcare. As detectives of the medical field, they analyze biological samples to detect diseases and provide insights that guide doctors' treatment decisions. Their work identifying positive COVID-19 cases helped doctors begin early treatment and reduce spread. While advances in technology have improved turnaround for test results, the important role medical lab scientists play remains underappreciated by the public who rarely see them. Their efforts in testing samples and analyzing results are key to patient care and outcomes.
