What is the difference between undergraduate medical laboratory technology and clinical medical testing

1, different functions

Medical testing is the material taken from the human body microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, genetics, hematology, biophysics, cytology and other aspects of the test, so as to prevent, diagnose, and treat human disease and assessment of human health to provide information on a science.

Clinical laboratory medicine is a bridge discipline between basic medicine and clinical medicine, consisting of hematology, biochemistry, human parasitology, microbiology, immunology and other basic disciplines, is an important part of health care.

2, different training objectives

Medical laboratory training with basic medicine, clinical medicine, medical testing and other aspects of the basic theoretical knowledge and basic capabilities, can be at all levels of hospitals, blood stations and epidemic prevention departments engaged in medical testing and medical laboratory work of senior medical specialists.

Clinical laboratory medicine is based on laboratory medicine, multidisciplinary interpenetration, cross-compatibility of the comprehensive application of the discipline. Involving chemistry, physics, biology, optics, statistics, artificial intelligence, immunology, microbiology, genetics, molecular biology and other natural disciplines.

3, different characteristics

Medical testing students mainly study basic medicine, clinical medicine, medical testing of basic theoretical knowledge, by the medical testing operation skills systematic training, with clinical medical testing and health inspection of the basic ability. The five-year medical testing can apply for a clinical license, the four-year medical testing technology is a test technician.

The rapid development of clinical laboratory medicine, discipline construction is unprecedented active, the test discipline has been developed from medical testing to clinical laboratory medicine direction, become an independent discipline.
