Laboratory
Professionals:
Delivering Today's
Results For A
Healthier Tomorrow
April 20-26 is
National Medical
Laboratory
Professionals Week
(NMLPW), honoring
the 265,000 medical
laboratory
professionals and
14,500 board
certified
pathologists who
save lives everyday
by performing and
interpreting medical
laboratory tests.
As team members of
one of the largest
industries in the
United States, the
dedicated efforts of
laboratory
professionals often
go unnoticed by the
general public, as
well as by the very
institutions
employing their
services. With the
public now demanding
the assurance of
quality health care
and professional
accountability,
organizations
representing
practitioners of
this critical
science have a
responsibility to
ensure that the
public is well
informed about
clinical laboratory
competency.
