Congratulations to the 39 new Medical Laboratory Scientists who graduated on Saturday from our joint program with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). Medical laboratory scientists are the individuals that perform some of the crucial testing currently happening for the diagnosis of coronavirus. A recent article in The New York Times stressed the importance of laboratory professionals: “In the absence of trained workers to process and analyze the nation’s tests, America’s diagnostic infrastructure will not merely wrinkle and slow, experts said. It will collapse.” Go on and do great things graduates! 🎓🦉🔬
