Clinical laboratory scientists are responsible for conducting advanced clinical diagnostic testing, and are involved in evaluating and interpreting laboratory results, oftentimes consulting with physicians. Clinical laboratory scientists may also be involved in research and in evaluating new test methodologies. A clinical laboratory scientist is more likely to advance to management positions later in their career.
