  Board Committee on Clinical Chemistry - Principles of Legislation and Rule Making for Regulation of the Practice of ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
For purposes of licensure, clinical chemistry can be defined as the application of chemical science to materials derived from the human body in order to provide factual data for the purpose of prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of a medical condition.
Since the practice of clinical chemistry requires the exercise of independent judgment, the issuance of a license authorizing such practice should be based on good character and high degree of professional competence as demonstrated by satisfactory completion of an appropriate examination in clinical chemistry, or by offering an equivalent certification.
The practice of clinical chemistry occurs at three distinct levels, depending upon the extent of academic training, laboratory experience, and competency in general and in specific laboratory techniques.

 Clinical laboratory technologists and technicians
Clinical laboratory technologists usually have a bachelor’s degree with a major in medical technology or in one of the life sciences; clinical laboratory technicians generally need either an associate degree or a certificate.
The usual requirement for an entry-level position as a clinical laboratory technologist is a bachelor’s degree with a major in medical technology or in one of the life sciences; although it is possible to qualify through a combination of education, on-the-job, and specialized training.
Employment of clinical laboratory workers is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations through the year 2012, as the volume of laboratory tests increases with both population growth and the development of new types of tests.
