Biomedical Laboratory Sciences (BLS) is a challenging and rewarding health care profession that has great impact on patient care. Working in a variety of settings, laboratory scientists are essential members of the health care team who provide vital information about the status and function of the body and its systems. The data obtained by laboratory professionals is utilized in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
