Clinical laboratory scientist?
hey there.
I am a junior at UT Austin and recently I changed my major from
molecular cell biology to Clinical Laboratory science and I am not
really sure if I made the right outcome. I really like biology at the cellular level specially in the grazing land related to human health.
What kind of post rearing is out there after i get my BS in CLS?
Is anyone near a CLS degree doing research?
and how much is the avarage pay?
If i get my CLS level in TX.. is it only acredited in this state?
Thank you so much!

I am a PhD student in pharmacology, which i consider a clinical science but i am not sure how broad the occupancy is here. Anyways, it all depends on what you want to do, either be a research scientist in academia, industry, or clinical setting, Do you want to person in charge up studies? design your own experimental models for tackling problems? conduct clinical trials of medications? etc... if any of these things sound interesting afterwards you will most likely have to go to graduate university or medical school. It doesnt really matter what degree surrounded by science you have, you will be able to apply either of these programs pretty smoothly.
Typically research scientist in a industry setting can make anywhere from 60-100K/year, depending on your rank, expertise, skill set, title, and company status/success.
academia you are looking at roughly 50-80$, but their are definitly some exceptions (some harvard profs make 200k +/year, but also have their hands within other buisnesses).
getting your PhD in a typical clinical science applicable field will take you around 4-7 years depending on your program, school, and of course the individual.
The advantage to this is that most programs are free to PhD students. If you look into the right programs, most PhD programs will fund your college while paying you salaries to conduct reserach, TA, and various other tasks. The money is nothing to write home nearly, and you wont live lavishly considering the work you will do.
Best of Luck
you should really meet with your advisor to discuss these issues...that's what you're paying the big $$$$ for. he/she can set you upto shadow someone contained by the field and decide whether it's right for you!
Medical Technologists are frequently call Clinical Lab Scientists.
MTs often get lumped in beside MLTs (medical laboratory technicians).
Perhaps you would find it beneficial to talk with a tech working in the pen. Most MTs are happy to answer questions. Call a local hospital lab and ask to speak to a Med Tech. Also you might want to talk near an advisor or educational coordinator as to the possible job fields for the amount.
Check out the ASCP web site to find the possibilites after the BS. There are Specialist available in all 4 departments (Blood Bank; Hematology; Chemistry and Microbiology)
There are loads of bench techs doing research. If you want to do someone else's research you are sure to find a commission. If you want to do your own research you will have to have a PhD.
The pay vary depending upon where you are located. Industry pays better than the other options most of the time.
I don't know the requirements for the degree contained by TX. I have a BS in Biology and Chemistry from AU and a certificate from the institution of Medical Technology that is accredited. I am also ASCP registered which is considered nationwide. There are a few states that also require you to steal a state register also... but with the shortage of MTs in the workforce more and more are accepting the ASCP alone.
As for the pay go up ... the most recent survery of the field is in an article that can be accessed from the ASCP trellis site.
I hope this helps. Good luck. Source(s): MT ASCP (24 years and counting)
