Episode Synopsis

What do brain-eating amoeba, blood transfusions and COVID-19 tests have in common? Medical Laboratory Scientists, that’s what. In this 3-part series, hear from faculty and students in the Medical Laboratory Sciences program at VCU as they explain their unlikely journeys in this field. Historically a “behind the scenes” role, Medical Laboratory Science is one of the most under-recognized healthcare careers; however, MLS professionals provide answers to life-saving decisions every day. They do everything from providing cancer testing results, to predicting the correct antibiotic to prescribe, to typing the correct blood for surgery.Featured guestDr. Melissa Jamerson - Faculty in the VCU Medical Laboratory Sciences programProgram linksExplore more about the Medical Laboratory Sciences program at VCUTo learn more about the professionApplication informationWhat to hear from us?
